This picture was sent to me by one of my blog readers. I thought it was appropriate to share today. I’m guessing they were spelling phonetically. Have a good Halloween, don’t eat too much candy, and please be safe out there!

This one comes from Twitter. While my brain often actually reads this when I’m skimming a newspaper, I doubt it was really the intent of the newspaper to publish its headline this way.
As most of you know, I have a very low tolerance for errors by schools. I understand they are people too, but I hold them to a higher standard just because teaching proper grammar is part of their business and this kind of stuff isn’t that hard–just plain inattention. This Giggle was forwarded to me by a friend and I love receiving any Grammar Giggles you might find.
Remember–if you enjoy Proof That proofreading blog and the Grammar Giggles, you can sign up to get notifications of new postings in the upper right hand corner AND you can always share them with your friends and coworkers (we’ll call that a subtle hint!). If you have a pressing proofreading question or Grammar Giggle, forward it to me at [email protected] for a possible future blog post.
I found this on Twitter. They say it was used in a presentation on proofreading. Whoopsie!
This one is from a friend. I didn’t know mobile homes came with this option.
I found this one on Twitter. If you don’t think you have a good grasp of grammar and homophones, please take someone with you (or at least let them look at the language before you have invitations printed). This is just embarrassing. At least it is if it was truly an error and the bride and groom aren’t just greedy.
A friend sent this one to me. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t ever put lemons in my orange juice. Maybe it’s a California thing.
I saw this one on a local news channel on a story about how our storms this weekend affected a home and garden show and I’m shocked that this sign got this far with the glaring error. I just hope it’s not an error that shows up in all their marketing materials. Unbelievable!
This could be taking truth in advertising just a little too far . . .
My class reunion is next month, and while I was signing up for it, I came upon this page that I don’t even understand. Someone should have read this language and they would have realized things were wrong and missing.
