Engrish & Funny Typos

I Don’t See Anything Wrong With This Sign, Do You? DIDN’T THINK SO.

Alright, I understand the tallow toast (buttered toast basically) and even the earthnut toast (peanut butter toast), but the cheese ham stew toast and France toast?

Here’s one to put a smile on your face, or a dagger in your subject-verb agreement heart.

For those who want to know what this says without putting forth the effort of translating this mess, here is my best guess (with typos):

Council exchange *unintelligible* – I have a council stuido flat in Wallisdown own kitchen own bathroom intocom system on ground floor *unintelligible* quiet block of four *unintelligible* quiet astate pets allowed with permisson A big commual garden all fenced off If anyone would be intrested in swapping with me chan call on *number removed* I am looking to swap to Winton on Moondown on surrounding arears

Well, I thought that things like boiling water were pretty simple, and were even more simple when it came to a pot of water for a coffee maker but it would seem that I have been proven wrong. I do have a problem though with the run on sentence that they have going on. There needs to be at the very least a semicolon after the first independent clause.

If I were an English teacher, I would have such a field day with the lack of proper punctuation in this paper.

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?

I assume that by keeping you best on what looks to be a water advertisement, they are saying to keep yourself healthy, or at your best. I appreciate their concern but would appreciate a proofreader for such advertisements as well.

Another user-submitted typo, taken from a video game review video. I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with The Angry Video Game Nerd or his review of all of the Ghostbuster’s video games. This particular selection was found in his review in which the AVGN went through and counted all of the mistakes found on this screen that you see after beating the game.

Another misuse of quotation marks, giving those of us with more intimate knowledge of English grammar a slightly dirty chuckle.
