Spelling matters

[Grandma]

Just had to share this!

Had a visit from a bathroom designer today. She gave me her brochure....................

.............I'm wondering if they set it off when they get in trouble then wait for someone - (a man???) - to come and rescue them.  ::) ::) ::)

RNLI here they come?
The spelling mistake which always conjures up a lovely picture for us is when folks on Gardening sites talk about 'sewing' seeds. Right, needles at the ready?

[calendula]

maybe they wear one legged bell bottoms  ;D

Did you say anything to her? A mistake like that might lose her some work!

I have brochures in six different languages and it's a nightmare checking, double checking, triple checking.  Typos are so easy to do, and easily missed.  I'm always grateful for comments/corrections.  I suspect the lady designers either didn't check well enough, or they could blame the proof readers!!!

How about this for an inappropriate apostrophe:

[Eristic]

Eyes bean to pique been four super toady. I no their bee know miss takes, I you sing chequer

[asbean]

Bl**dy '*ll - I wish I hadn't had that extra beer before I read that, Eristic  ;D ;D ;D

[kenkew]

I'm still looking for the aphostropie.

[Baaaaaaaa]

Metre's ?

[Admin aka Dan]

That reminds me, must change the spell checker to British from American.

[Trixiebelle]

That reminds me - I should offer my large chicken in exchange for my Xmas order at a Mexborough farm shop  ;D

And then go just down the road and laugh hysterically at/sympathise with the residents of ...

[manicscousers]
