Spelling and Grammar

I would join the Facebook group for my primary school, but the group's name is spelled incorrectly. Mrs. Ridout would not appreciate this at all.

Did a British company buy Pringle's? Because I bought a can today proudly advertising 100 "crisps". Funky.

They've always said crisps. There was an entire law suit where Pringles tried to argue that they weren't potato chips because chips have to be shaved from the potato but Pringles doesn't do that and they aren't chips.

Really? Well, I'll be darned. Inhaled unhealthy amounts of Pringles as a kid and never noticed that.

I came into work today and saw an e-mail from the head of the agency declaring "AMENSTY A SUCCESS!" She then attempted to recall the e-mail message, only to send it out again with the same misspelling.

The front page ad on our paper yesterday advertised a hospital's holiday "bazar." Spelling fail, advertising department.

An spot on our local CW station was advertising for some show that was airing on "Wednesday's." UGH.

A restaurant near me has a sign out "Ask about our Panini's!"

Sigh. What do those crazy Paninis own? Is that what we're supposed to be asking about?

Just nowish on the mtvmovieblog Twitter feed: "Angelina Jolie May Now Be Travel With Johnny Depp!" Whose responsible this?

That Twitter feed confused the hell out of me. So much so that for a few seconds I wondered if her character's name was Travel.

I was at a 50th birthday dinner over the summer where there was a powerpoint presentation with photos of the birthday girl from over the years but OMG, the captions were full of typos. One of them had a picture of my aunt and my grandmother sitting together talking with the caption "Advise from the wise". It's not advise, it should have read Advice! And everyone sat there going "awww" while I wanted to grab the laptop and retype everything.

I'm fun at parties!

A daily report I review is titled "Todays's Report."

Heeeee!

Heeeee!

Hey, now, Mr. and Mrs Todays put a lot of effort into that report. Especially since their daughter, Trudy Todays, is totally not interested in taking it over when they retire.

I was reading reviews of hosiery yesterday and in the same review read "pantyhose's" (not used as a possessive) and "pantyhoe's." There was also "econminical," "exculsively" and "underware." I think the fact that she spelled "a lot" correctly must have been an accident.

At the doctor's office today, there was so much egregious apostrophe abuse, I was kind of afraid to be a patient there. I signed a form that informed that "if your late for you're appointment more than 20 minutes, you will be rescheduled. If you repeatedly miss you're appointments, you may be dismissed from the practice." Not to mention that flu shots will be given on "Wednesday's and Friday's."

How nice of Wednesday Addams to chip in and offer flu shots from her home.

Good lord, I don't want to think how that would end.

[Picture of Wednesday standing over a heap of bodies holding a syringe.] Caption: "Please report any side effects immediately."

Well, you could also try and get your shot at Friday's instead. I hear they'll throw in a free appetizer with purchase.

Oh, nicely done!
