Mistakes caught on camera
Every day, we are forced to see typos and mistakes in print. Some of these are simply typos. Others are grammatical mistakes, and the person who printed it probably doesn’t know it’s a mistake. Sad, but true. As I come across these mistakes, I plan on posting them here. I figure it’s better for some people to know that these really are mistakes, and that you can’t always take something to be correct just because it’s in print.
The first picture was taken at one of my favourite pubs. It’s a common mistake of thinking that anything plural needs an apostrophe. You’ll notice this most often in CD’s, TV’s, etc.
The second is actually a letter from my landlord, letting me know that someone would be coming by to check my A/C unit. That is, to check “you’re” A/C unit. Helpful? Yes. Grammatically correct? No.
If you have any pictures of funny mistakes like these, please send them over!
