Agreement (again!) Today's Grammar Glitch

While driving around completing last minute Christmas errands yesterday, I looked up from Interstate 459 to see the following reminder on one of those digital message boards:

SEATBELTS SAVES LIVES.

A quick reminder to the DOT: Please put the "s" on the noun to make it plural, but leave the "s" off the verb to make it plural.

Hopefully, the next time I venture onto I-459, this message board will read correctly, as follows:

SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES.

Remember: You can't have the "s" on both the noun and the verb.

Meanwhile, Merry Christmas, Everyone! And I DO hope you will wear your SEATBELTS and SAVE lives during this holiday season!
