Grammar Giggle – Pastrami Rubben

I saw this sign while waiting for lunch at a local eatery. This might have been a choice for me because I love a Reuben sandwich, but I’m not sure what makes it a Rubben sandwich, so I went with something else.

Grammar Giggle – Louisnana

I saw this on another proofreading page I follow on Facebook, but since it is related to the legal field, I had to use it! I did check online to make sure it was legit, and apparently the error first appeared in a subreddit after a Threads post included the picture of a ceremony installing the newest members of the Louisiana Bar Association and the Louisiana Supreme Court Committee. Whoops! As I say, proofread EVERYTHING! And if you send printing out, please carefully review the proof that they send you for approval before printing.

Grammar Giggle – OcotberFest

I’M BACK! With apologies for the very long delay in posting here, I’ve decided that not having a 9-5 regular schedule is not good for me and causes me to “later” every damn thing. But I’m going to try to get back on schedule with this blog. Thanks for the encouragement!

This was a local ad for an Oktoberfest event to be held on Ocotber 26. Since it’s the largest font on the page, it seems that someone should have noticed that.

Grammar Giggle – Mac & Choose

My sister sent me this from a website when she was researching potential food my husband (who is a sensitive celiac) could eat on a recent vacation we took together. She noticed this one offered “3-cheese mac & choose.” They obviously got it correct a few words before this obvious error, but because it is a “real” word, it doesn’t trigger spell check.

Grammar Giggle – Non-Smiling Home

I saw this recently in my Facebook feed. It looks to me like this was a Facebook autocorrect that wasn’t caught. It is really important to actually look at texts, posts, emails, etc. to make sure your electronic device didn’t decide it was smarter than you and change a word to what it thinks you wanted to say, even though what they chose was not even close. Just review it quickly, change anything you need to, and then press that big button to send it off. You will feel better knowing that what you are sending actually says what you want it to say and your friends, family, and others won’t wonder why you’re obviously upset and talking about a non-smiling home.
