I don't quite know what a 'contemperary' service is.

I know it can be tricky for some people to understand the difference between "it's" and "its" (even though it shouldn't be), but making that mistake on a napkin?? Come on.


The last sentence could also use a little work -- I suggest replacing "for" with "after," and "over" with "more than," so it reads, "And we are still serving the same great food after more than 50 years." Now doesn't that sound better?

How does this happen?? It's on the front of the product packaging, the last place a company would want a misspelled word. Ugh. The only funny part is hearing Miranda pronounce it, something along the lines of "twoop."

Words will never hurt me

Eat'in? That's a new one. Oh, and you spelled 'ass' wrong.

Respect my authority!

This note was sent to Walgreens employees when they were supposed to spring forward rather than fall back. Oh yeah, and there are some lovely typos in it.


A big THANKS to Kim for supplying this example of incompetence.

They teach punctuation in school, right?

High school grads: Yes. High school grad's: No. I'm sad this display at O'Hare International Airport has such a blatant error.

A new day of the week? Cool

I expect someone who works at a library to be able to spell Thursday. It's in Molalla, yes, but still.

Mini pizza what?

What in the world are "mini pizza's"? Does the apostrophe mean the mini pizza is in possession of something (and if so, what?), or is the punctuation telling customers that the mini pizza is doing something? Even people who work at bowling alleys should know better. Am I right?
