I thought that was going to be a comment about the run on sentence. Sort of like the signs I occasionally see that say “NO SMOKING FOOD OR DRINK”. So…I can still smoke a Winston as long as I don’t light up my carrot, right?
I recall that in my (UK) schooldays, the majority of a lifetime ago; my schoolfellows used “dribble” and “drivel” interchangeably. Attributable, I feel, to teenage males’ largely-failed attempts at witty wordplay…
Cramberries
Duck with blubbery sauce (from a hotel menu in Israel).
Maybe add one o’ them posse-trophs? That’ll class it up real nice!
Aha, the plot indeed chickens.
Just ran across this one today:
At one time I collected misspellings of my last name, which had been “simplified” when my grandparents came to America.
I stopped after 22.
I’m (yet again) packing up the house for a move, and the “Dish Barrel”-size box has a list, with check boxes, of which room the box should go to. I haven’t decided where the “Dinning Room” will be in our new home.
Forest as “forrest”, twice in a row, showing it to not be a slip of a finger.
C’mon, that’s such a poultry error.
On a gardening message board I used to frequent (GardenWeb), it was common for people to post about their “perrenials”, sometimes even their perineals. :smack:
Normally I’d not say anything, but, given the thread, I have to point out your typo. It would be “for a while,” as the preposition “for” needs a noun “while,” not an adverb “awhile.”
Of course, it’s very likely that I will have some error that I didn’t notice or know about in this post.
And, BTW, the list printed on the side of the box had “Dining Room” spelled correctly.
Duck that.
^ Does this mean you can’t shoot a Birdie or an Eagle or an Albatross any more?
There used to be a store near me that for over a year had a sign out front advertising their “Gran Oppening”.
I die just a little bit inside every time I see someone post about their pet chiwawa.
When I was a Physics Teaching Assistant, grading papers and lab reports from clueless undergrads, I once encountered the spelling excelleration.
After marking up his mathematical errors, I crossed out the offending word and wrote Accelent! underneath.
Mt Sinia Baptist Church
“Whines up” for “winds up”.
My husband just noticed on a box of store brand Immodium “For the symphony of diarrhea”.
Also, “kari-out” posted on this very message board.
Great, now I have the 1812 Overture as an earworm.
A previous boss of mine - a fairly high level administrator - placed a hand-written sign above a clogged sink notifying all that the plummer has been called.
mmm
