Numerous typos on a bogus used clothing collection sticker
On Monday morning the sticker shown arrived in my door. It has 3 obvious typos/errors and some other strange stuff too. A long time ago I emailed the email address given (clothescollection@gmail.com) but never got an answer.
The first typo is “gratefull” which should be “grateful“. Then “clothings” should be “clothing“. At the end, “ENCLOSED” should be “ENCLOSE“.
As for errors, “day indicated below” is wrong as the collection day is listed above that sentence.
The “some other countries” bit is amusing – it’s as if they couldn’t be bothered to make up other destination countries. It must be difficult to continually have to make up new text for these stickers. At some stage I expect them to use “yada, yada, yada.”
The lonely “EXPORTED” word, combined with the lack of a full stop at the end of the sentence above it (about not “enclosed (sic) a bag”) made me think that they left out a few words e.g. “of being“. This would make “…your children and pets can be put as risk of being exported”
I haven’t seen any typos since my last post but did hear George Bush’s grammer gaff on The Daily Show last week (each show is broadcast the following night on More4).
They showed the clip where President Bush stated, in front of a class of New York school kids, that “Childrens do learn.”
Among many other gaffs, this one sits right alongside the “Is our children learning?” from his first election campaign. The same article also mentions the president’s recent speech to the U.N. General Assembly where he was using a phonetic pronunciation guide for the names of world leaders!
