I went to lunch recently and saw this menu. While the proper version is “house-made,” which means something is prepared in the establishment in which it is sold, while “homemade” is something made in a home. In other words, it appears three different ways–including the correct way–all on one page. And the original error I found was “quinoa” misspelled one line below where it is spelled correctly.
I caught this on my favorite nightly news station. Since I was listening to the story, I can tell you that the word they wanted was “soldier.”
This was in an email I received. Because I live near Phoenix and work there, I noticed this right away. I also noticed that it is right in four other places and wrong in the very first line.
My brother sent me this one. I loved this drive in theater and spent many a date night there . . . but enough about that. There were so many errors in these two sentences. Here are my edits to it:
A friend sent this one to me. It sounds like the word that should be there, but really it isn’t even close.
My news station comes through again. Apparently they have a different program or person proofreading titles than proofreading subtitles. It is spelled right there.
We saw this bus in Washington, D.C. and a friend snapped this picture.
A special holiday edition of Grammar Giggles. My son forwarded this one to me. When you know there’s a “B” in the word, but it’s silent so you’re not sure where it goes. Crazy scary error! Happy Halloween!
