AprilTN Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I received an email from a new local classical school inviting us to an open house. They included a link to their website, so I took a look. On the ENTIRE website, the word "grammar" was spelled "grammer" over and over again. I took pity on them and emailed them to save their embarrassment.

hsmom3tn Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I once sent an email to my BFF telling her that I was going to kick her butt (just joking, of course), but accidentally typed "lick", instead of kick... Se was making fun of me about that for a while, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie in Oh Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 for car shipping, I got an error when I put in my zip code. It said: If you got this error you either entered in the zip code incorrectly or you mis-spelt the city of destination. Oh my. That was a dandy. I didn't do business with that company. :lol: :auto: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveBaby Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) There is a sign on a highway near here: Hit A Worker $10,000 Fine Lose Your License When you are driving 65mph down a highway...you really only notice the "Hit A Worker $10,000" part. My kids always think it means we'll get $10,000...surely there is a better way to word it. Edited July 27, 2009 by LoveBaby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougarmom4 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Okay, so even though it's now on page 11, I've got one more: Two weeks ago at my 20 year HS reunion, we were each given a t-shirt...and embroidered on the front of each shirt is Class of 89'. Does that tell you the level of excellence from my high school?!? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 For years and years, the sign outside the main church in our little nearby town said: Worship hos. 9:00 & 10:30 Confession 11:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 On our trip to Washington DC, we took a picture of a sign by the windows near the bathrooms in the Museum of Natural History that reads: "Please don't set in window seals. Thank!" The "Thank!" part is what really gets me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coralloyd Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 There is a green sign on the interstate out here in the West Valley that says: Exit XXX: State Prison Zoo Surprise Of course, they mean the city of Surprise, but in my head I always think, "Umm..I think I'll take door number 3, Bob." Barb I've seen this one also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
