A distinct lack of another L here.

Please take care - council signwriters working nearby without a dictionary.

Miss Who?

2012-05-31T15:48:00.000-07:00

I think a £70 discount is due on our Council Tax bill for the amount of money the council spends on misssssspelt signs.

Your turn

2011-10-05T15:29:00.000-07:00

This could have been a great sign, with some important instructions, but sadly the lack of 'ed' made me laugh so much that I left all the lights on and the heating up full blast.

Poor taste

2011-10-05T15:22:00.000-07:00

They were too hastie to check the spelling on this sign 'cos they were too busy eating a big pastie.

Except no mercy!

2011-10-05T15:17:00.000-07:00

There aren't really words to describe this one - it's just fantastic.

Spag what?!

2011-10-05T15:14:00.000-07:00

Unless I'm mistaken, I've always thought that it should be 'spag bol' for short. I'm suddenly not as hungry as I thought I was.

Where's the o?

2011-10-05T15:08:00.000-07:00

Beware - signwriters creating signs with the American spelling of 'manoeuvre'. Or maybe they were Americans?

Yet another ery-ary mistake

2011-10-05T15:02:00.000-07:00

I've seen so many of these that I'm beginning to doubt that the dictionEry has got it right! More of these to follow.

Due to unforeseen circumcision I have murdered a shop assistant...

Can a notice get any better/worse than this?! 2 well crafted mistakes in each sentence. The unforeseen fridge apologises for the inconvenience.

I don't know if he is the gardener, the secret keeper or the administrator...

Art Decco

2011-04-07T14:04:00.000-07:00

Who is Recco and what has he mended?

Where's the i?

There's another wedding venue nearby that's got more exclusivity than this one has.

They thought they were going to wembley or they think they are going to Wembley?

2011-02-01T06:41:00.000-08:00

Apostrophe alert!

It reads as if they have already been beaten and they WERE going to Wembley and they look remarkably cheerful after being beaten.

Just one quick dob of paint and were becomes we're and the trip is back on again...assuming their team were on form (or should that be there team where on form or they're team we're or...)

Who's Cashew anyway?

2011-01-23T12:54:00.000-08:00

I didn't know that these nuts were named after an actual person - Halley's Comet, Stephenson's Rocket etc.

No S today, thank you very much.

2011-01-23T12:36:00.000-08:00

Moday, Tueday,Wedneday,Thurday, Frday, Satuday, and Suday.

Wintery?!

2011-01-23T12:34:00.000-08:00

Even the BBC can't be bothered to use spelchequer anymore.

lax attitute to gravlax

2011-01-17T11:02:00.000-08:00

Can this spelling really be this lax? I have checked to make sure it is not a legitimate spelling in another language (see Wikipedia page). I'm not even sure if it's a C or a G at the start but I am sure that it refers to Gravlax.

Update: I have found that it is the Danish spelling and is correct! (see this page). Still worth leaving in with my apologies to the sign-writer.

Now they are in Devon surely it should be Gravverlacks or Gravvy Lacks or any variation...

Double F

2011-01-04T16:29:00.000-08:00

I much preffer only one f.

Unnecessary S?

2011-01-04T15:58:00.000-08:00

We also want powers tools, musicals instruments, computers games and other electricals goods.

Double L

2011-01-04T11:51:00.000-08:00

Is this a deliberate spelling mistake to divert your attention away from the massive cost of parking in this car park?

I'll have sum of that!

2010-12-02T14:02:00.000-08:00

If you eat all and not just sum of your porridge in the morning, you'll grow up to be big, strong and handsum.

What's the point?

2010-11-08T07:54:00.000-08:00

Not once, but twice. What a beauty, but by appiontment only.

Another dire enquire.

2010-11-08T07:52:00.000-08:00

This word crops up a lot - maybe there was a run of faulty dictionares.

Michael?

2010-11-08T07:48:00.000-08:00

St. Micheal is the patron saint of Friday afternoon spelling. He's not very well known.
