I saw this sign while I was waiting for my car at a local carwash and this little gem caught my eye.

This was in a local business publication. Spelling errors in headlines are the worst. Please make sure you have turned off the “Ignore words in UPPERCASE” option in the Proofing Word Options under File, Options so this kind of error doesn’t occur in your headings!

I received this in a notice from my insurance company checking on slow refills of a prescription. Yes, perhaps I might have forgotten to take it a day or two, but ask me if I “forget” NOT “foget.” Inexcusable!

A friend sent me this one. It must be a thing lately with wedding invitations, but please don’t let March have this many days!

A friend sent me this from our local news station alert to her mobile phone.

This is an example of what appears to be rewriting copy, but not proofreading it once you’re done to make sure it still makes sense. It looks to me like it originally said “due to an injury” and they MEANT to change it to “because of an injury.” Unfortunately, that’s not what happened.

This was recently in my Facebook feed, so I had to get a screenshot to share with you.

My sister sent this one to me and no thank you!

A friend sent this to me. I’m not sure why they have the apostrophe “s” on cookie and “shortbread” should be one word when you’re talking about a shortbread cookie.

Apparently our crazy weather here in Arizona last week affected the headline typists on a local news station.
