Stay at Our BUMgalows, If You Dare! Thank goodness for the bar, you’ll need it if you stay the night at the bumgalows!

Just cleaning out photos from my old phone and found this I took in the supermarket a few years ago. Hard to believe a product (Fehlbergs Fire Roasted Red & Yellow Pepper) would make it onto the shelf with such a mistake, but it appears it was taken off the market fairly soon after this as I haven’t seen them since!

Seperate vs. Separate

If you are desperate to distance yourself from the “seperate” blunder, break down the word separate to find its meaning.

Se-para-te: apart from – to one side of – te (Correct)
Se-per-ate: apart from – through/during/each – ate (Incorrect)

Example: I separate my pens from my pencils.

Key: Separate your parakeets.

Indispensible vs. Indispensable

To ible or able, that is the question. They have incredible similarities, but which is usable? If you want to make yourself indispensable to your readers, our biggest recommendation to solving this one quandary: Grab a dictionary. Through use and practice, eventually ible and able will become second nature.

Example: Your insight is indispensable.

Key: Gables are indispensable.

Occuring vs. Occurring

This little suffix can trip everyone up: ing. The confusion here is rooted in words ending in ing that require an additional letter or an omission of a letter to complete the word. For example: write and writing, run and running, occur and occurring, etc.

Example: Prevent errors from occurring.

Key: Double the R in occurring.

Recieve vs. Receive

The dreaded ie vs. ei! You may have heard this phrase: “I” before “E” except after “C”. This is a fairly good guideline to stick by, but there are always exceptions. Consult your dictionary if you are not sure.

Example: You will receive a gift!

Key: “I” before “E” except after “C” = Re-C-EI-ve.

Ghandi vs. Gandhi

This prominent figure is the first name to make it to our lists: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a.k.a. Mahatma Gandhi.

Why is Gandhi’s name spelled incorrectly? This may be due to the similar sounds ga and gha (e.g. Ghana, gander, and Gandhi).

Example: Gandhi pioneered the use non-violent resistance.

Key: Take a gander at Gandhi and you will see freedom.

And a merry Christmass to you too.

This company, which appears to be called Pinnacle, has gone to the trouble of giving itself an ‘identity’ whereby the ‘A’ in ‘Pinnacle’ resembles an inverted ‘V’. I’ve no idea why, but hey, it catches the eye, and they’ve obviously spent time thinking about what they’re doing. Good for them. There’s also a coloured logo, part of which is visible on the left. All this goes to create a corporate image, no doubt. One which is designed to look good, surely?

However, they seem to have left themselves no time to bother proofreading the rest of the text…

I’m constantly amazed at how companies (including the City Council) can present themselves in such a sloppy manner.
