I once saw a segment on one of the morning news shows about two guys who took a cross country road trip, correcting spelling and grammatical errors along the way. Of course, they
wrote a book about it. I've not read the book, but I certainly "get" these guys. Both Dave and I were raised to spell, use grammar and sentence structure correctly. And although we don't always get it right (as I'm sure I just botched that last sentence), we're totally going to correct others who can't get it right. :)
I bring you the newest addition to the blog, "Spell Check".
Today's Spell Check is courtesy of the photo/electronics department at the local Meijer store:
I 'guarantee' spell check would have highlighted that one.
I used to work as a department manager for a large department store. I ran the Housewares department among other things. My favorite sign error would have never been caught by spell check...

I always wondered how many managers put that sign out without reading it first!
Love this. I always get a chuckle from these errors. The math ones really get me.
ReplyDeleteI drive my husband crazy pointing out grammatical errors all the time! The comment from Spie reminds me of one of my favorites. It is a burrito "bowel" at a local mexican restaurant. So appetizing.
