See any extra letters?

Do you see any extra letters in this sign? This photo won’t win me any awards, but as an editor I’m always amused by typos in signs. I found this one Tuesday of this week at a restaurant my husband and I were eating at with our extended family.

Join the Photo Hunt!

(And don’t forget How I Met My Honey on Tuesday. It’s going to be so much FUN!)

My mom and I play a game, where we watch for, and report back on, crazy signs like this. We once saw a sign for “Wheelbarrels for rent.” Another time, I saw a sign in a hair salon window, which read, “Shampoo and conditioner…$9.99 each or 2 for $20.” Ummmm. I’ll take two for $9.99 each.

I came across a blog one time that had photos of a whole bunch of these kinds of things listed. Some were so hilarious.

Of course now that I know you are an editor, I will be paranoid about every comment I have posted and if I used proper spelling and punctuation. (grin)

I make as many typos as does the next person. :) And your stories about crazy signs are FUNNY!

My pet hate! I can’t stand badly spelt signs!! Good choice for the week.

heh. Funny. At first glance I read it correctly and didn’t see the extra letter until I read the post. I used to be a great speller until two things happen: I took Spanish in college and I married a horrible speller. :)

I had to look at it a couple of times, too. :)

I’m often AMAZED at the kinds of ‘errors’ that show up in signs … and ‘wonder’ about the folks who don’t seem bothered by it.

I’m ‘playing’ for the very 1st time this week with a sign I’ve shared previously … but is fun to revisit periodically ;–)

Hugs and blessings,

Good catch… unfortunately misspellings are everywhere these days… everywhere.

Indeed they are… kinda sad…

That’s a great find. Reminds me of a misspelled word on a school sign that I saw earlier in the week. Egads!

Thanks for visiting today and have a great Saturday!

Misspellings on school signs make me CRAZY!

Mis-spellings always crack me up especially when they are published!!

ellen bs last blog post..Pleasant Valley Historical Society Museum~Botanical Garden

Published ones make me cringe. (I am an editor, after all. ;) )

Maybe they wanted to write “No extra checkers”?

Maybe so, but I doubt it. :(

11 Gypsy at Heart 04.26.08 at 12:34 pm

I have raised a whole family of grammar & spelling police…and I’m proud of it!

WHOO HOO! And I’m proud of it for you!

12 Connie 04.26.08 at 3:29 pm

Ha Ha! Someone either needs spellcheck or need to return to school ;) Great sign for this weeks theme!

I’m not perfect but signs like that, in public, bug me.

Today I saw a doozy: a banner for a Christian school had the word “Christian” misspelled. Oops.
