The worst spelling/grammar mistake I've encountered? The helpful placards about toilet flushing in the bathroom stalls at my office. They all have a glaring grammatical mistake--and I work in the editorial dept. of a publishing company. Headdesk.
HA -- whenever I want to spell "desperate" and "separate," I have to stop and think. My trick is "sePARate" is close to "PARt." So if I'm spelling "desperate," I know it has an "e" since it doesn't relate to "part." Don't ask me why it isn't closer to the spelling of "despair."
Seems there are more and more mistakes that even I can catch--LOL! Probably the abbreviated world of emails, texts, and twits are catching up with us. :(
I am not picking up what you're laying down....why oops?!
ReplyDeleteThe company seems to be having a little trouble with spelling in its signage. ;)
DeleteSpelling is important. Thanks for the giggle.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it! I laughed out loud when I saw it. :)

ReplyDeleteLove this! I think we all have our own little tricks when it comes to spelling. (Well, everyone except for the person who made these signs!)
DeleteChuckle.
ReplyDeleteGuess both writer and proofer got "left behind"....
DeleteSeriously? They should be ashamed of themselves. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteHa-ha...yeah they did it again. What a shame.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure that's part of the problem.
DeleteHope you're having a nice Thursday!
I guess - I'm just as dense because it took me awhile to figure out the problem with these signs - lol
