Zanac!

Noticed this whilst watching a review of the Retron 3 gaming console on Classic Game Room:


Desinded. I misspell design all the time while typing, but it usually comes out desing. At least I still have a 'g' in there. :p

Doesn't anyone proofread anymore?

I almost hate to post this, as this is my family doctor's mother, and because obits are a sad thing anyway, but still...


Clam lake?! The more mistakes I see in our stupid local newspaper, the more it makes me want to force myself into a proofreading job there! I bet all they do is use Spell Check and if they don't see any red marks, they're good to go. I would've given them a piece of my mind over this and probably gotten [no, demanded!] some sort of refund.

P.S. I hadn't really thought of it before, but it is also inferred in that first sentence that they commited an illegal act...

To PayPal or not to PayPal...

Message about a DVD I bought:


Preferred indicates there are other options, but he says there aren't, so...PayPal it is. :p

Frount?!

From a Food Network challenge to build giant gingerbread houses, these were instructions found on the inside of the wooden structure used to hold one of them together.

Paging Morgan Spurlock!

...because our students aren't fat and salt-encrusted enough.

I ain't afraid of no myth!

...take their myth what?

BEST ONE YET!

Or close to it! :) It's an ad found in the local newspaper:


Let's see...

1. Wintermaintenance?
2. Winter-wise. Not too bad, though it's not really to be used in a descriptive way, but more as a course of action... Therefore, winter wise.
3. Up tp 5 litres!
4. Synilictic is not a word. I checked. That should also be two sentences after 'Lube, oil and filter,' not one run-on one. (Or perhaps with a semi-colon after the 'Formula 1 oil' part.)
5. The hyphen in 'top-up' is unnecessary.
6. #1 Auto PANTS! :D
7. #Tire Store!

Oh man... A lot of people are to blame for this, but I thank them all for their inattention to detail!
