Engrish & Funny Typos

If I hadn’t known what she was trying to say, I would have thought ‘the Borough of Kingston upon terms’ was an incomplete sentence. What terms? In actuality, the BBC misspelled one of the most famous rivers in England, Thames (pronounced “temz”).

To be fair, Amtrak is the typo culprit here, but that doesn’t say much when a train station misspells a government owned passenger rail corporation.

There really isn’t an excuse for things like this when something is typed in native English on (probably) a Word document that has a spell check.

Another amusing typo brought to you by the nightly news. As long as they are conducting their witch hunts in a civil and logical manner, I have no qualms. Remember, if it’s made of wood and as heavy as a duck, it’s a witch!

So this isn’t so much of a typo as much as it is a “Whaaa-?” This is the outside of a plane. Why on earth would you need to display where the first aid is from the outside unless that was how you got to it?

Well, that’s good to know. Guerrilla warfare has always seemed a little ethically sketchy.

I’m really not sure what happened to this sign. Some part of  me doesn’t want to know, either. I sound two misspelled words, one homophone, and one instant of tense confusion. Did I miss anything?

Another misuse of apostrophes. The poor thing needs to be put out of its misery, at least on this van.

What makes this such an amazing picture is that not only is their error posted once in huge bold letters, but it is everywhere else! How was this possible? They couldn’t even reach an agreement either, what with pie’s being possessive and burgers being pluralized. Again, the repetitive nature of this picture just screams out “Look! We’re incorrect grammar and we’re here forever!”

On a second thought, who thought pies and burgers?

A new marketing scheme put into motion by Bloods’ members? From some reviews of the product’s quality, that may well be true.
