A reader sent me this picture that she saw in a retail store next to her office. I’m not even sure what it is they’re trying to say here.

This was in my Facebook feed recently. Advertising your business is really important and you should be able to spell important words like “online.”

My granddaughter sent this to me. Her brother (who just started as a freshman in her high school) received this from his teacher. I’ve included the school district’s web page for this high school. There is a difference and you should know how to spell the name of your employer.

My good old local news station comes through for me again. I happened to look up just as this story came up. And then I shook my head.

I saw this in my Facebook feed the other day. All I can picture when I see this is Herve Villechaize from Fantasy Island yelling “Da Plane! Da Plane!” or the high school football game cheer. They obviously know how to spell it correctly as it is right in the ad, just not in the headline.

I took these pictures at a restaurant recently. While the food was delicious, the menu needs some work. The worst part was the words that are misspelled are spelled correctly elsewhere on the same menu.

A friend sent me this picture from her recent Florida vacation. I’ll explain the many errors.

1. First paragraph. First red circle should be “larger” and second small red circle should be the closing parenthesis mark.
2. Third paragraph – extra space between “omega” and the dash.
3. Next red circle, “lobster” isn’t capitalized in other parts of the paper.
4. The next two red circles – the first circled word should be “than” and there should be a period at the end of the sentence.
5. The last red circle should be “younger ones” if you’re going to talk about multiple “older lobsters.”

A friend forwarded this one to me. I don’t even know where to start, so I have circled the errors that I found in a quick review. Note that the word “lite” is in more common usage when you’re talking about a lower calorie or lower fat version of a food, but NOT when talking about fire used to light something. That is “light.”

A friend send this one to me and I had to use it. While it is funny to me, I’m sure it was not so funny to the recipient.

I took this picture while I was in my favorite Starbucks drive-thru. I think I would prefer movers who were EXPERIENCED and honest or have a history of experience and HONESTY.
