Um, Excuse Me Waiter, Does This Come with a Side of Rench Fries?

Mmmm, nothing like a nice BBQ roasat beef sandwich on rench bread. This is a classic item on the menu of this popular downtown restaurant, "Wummy Fwood," run and owned by a five year old entrepreneur. Just kidding (but I wish I wasn't).

Correction: For Pete's sake,why doesn't anyone proof read?!? It's a short menu, not a lot of words, you can do it.

You Want Change America? Well Here You Go! We've Decided To Replace Easter! (we're not a Christian nation anyway)

 Well yes, I suppose I am a happy eater during the holidays. But how is that supposed to convince me to buy a bunch of ceramic rabbits? 

Correction: Unless this sign is hung over an elaborate Easter feast table inviting guests to chuckle at the cheesy, yet somewhat witty pun (and also dive into the food), then I think someone should find that missing "S" and put it back where it belongs. People are going to start saying "Happy Eater Sunday." You know how that goes. Some kid makes a typo and suddenly everyone's saying "pwned" instead of "owned" like it was some brilliant, revolutionary, coined term.

Good Luck With That...



I am part of an organization at my college and at one of our meetings we did an exercise where everyone wrote on a poster things that they were hopeful for. Some kid wrote this. I say good luck climbing up the ladder when you don't even know how to spell "wealth". I think I learned how to spell that word in 3rd grade.

Correction: Brush up on your spelling buddy if you want to reach your goal. "Wealth"only has one "l".

"I Aced Archaeological Anthropology! (but I can't pass a fifth grade spelling test.)"




I was reading my textbook for a quiz in my general archaeology class when I came across this. I thought it was a little pathetic and also very ironic. The word "scientifically" is misspelled...in a science book. That is hilarious. It makes me wonder if the author of this textbook had an editor. If he/she did, they were a god-awful one. I question the reliability of this textbook. Seriously.


Correction: Get an editor or fire the one you have now and get a new one! I would assume, since this author has a PhD, that they would know how to spell the word "scientifically"(at least I hope, but who knows nowadays?).

This is Who We're Trusting to Teach Our Kids?!?



Okay, so this is just unacceptable. This is a poster that is hanging up in various locations at my brother's high school. It's advertising a program available to help students with special needs with their school work. This poses two questions for me:

1). Should someone who can't spell the word "program" be allowed to help kids with schoolwork? and...

2). How can a high school hang a poster on their wall that has a blatant spelling error and not worry about it giving the school a bad reputation? Do they not proof read things before they display them for all too see?


Correction: This is either a careless mistake or the person who wrote it does not know how to spell the word "program". If it's simply a careless mistake, the person who wrote it needs to stop being lazy and proof read before they print out heaven knows how many copies. However, if they simply just don't know how to spell, they need to be fired and go back to elementry school where they will learn that "program" is spelled with an "a" not and "o".
