Typo

A beautiful quartet of typos

Published: September 17, 2009 (Updated: July 19, 2010)

I mentioned the large numbers of flyers coming through the letter box and how I scan them to see if they are eligible for this site. A beauty of a candidate arrived a few weeks ago.  At first scan I only saw the “availabul” typo. When I flipped the flyer over it got worse. It […]

Oui oui?

Published: September 16, 2009 (Updated: July 19, 2010)

We all get tons of flyers (junk mail to many) in our letterboxes each day. I always give them a look over, to see if there is anything interesting, but also to scan for typos. Most are error free, but some have small issues (others not so small). This flyer is from some building contractors. […]

On a positive note shopping in my local Tesco is a pleasant experience at 8am on a Monday morning – fruit and veg well stocked, very few customers and no queue at the till.

Published: October 26, 2007 (Updated: July 19, 2010)

I was in Smyths toy shop recently. Along one of the aisles was a note for staff about the evacuation plan in case of a fire. “Employee’s must walk not run…” – drop the apostrophe and consider adding a comma after “walk.” And don’t capitalise “Point.” Better still, drop over the to Borders Books and […]

Opperation

Published: October 17, 2007 (Updated: July 19, 2010)

I was walking through Blanchardstown Centre at the weekend. There was a glaring typo on one of the parking signs. Opperation should drop the second ‘p’. Doesn’t anyone check these signs before they are printed? After they are printed? Before they are sent out?  I hope the same typos aren’t at Connolly Hospital (groan). As […]
