Spotting typographical errors to improve accuracy.
Are you good at spotting typographical errors or just a misplaced letter that gives the wrong message to the one intended?
Sure we all make them from time-to-time and it’s usually too late when they are spotted. For example, the job may have already gone to print or that post or email has already been sent.
Imagine how embarrassing it must be not even to realise that a mistake has been made until someone else spots it. For today’s blog, I wanted to scour the internet to see what was out there.
These are the ones that made me smile.
Which one did you find amusing?
Imagine having a bad day, you’re just about to log out of your computer and instead of it asking if you want to exit, it asks ‘Are you sure you want to exist?’
What if you were going to a shop to steal? Would this be a better option than to be prosecuted?
Well, they had three choices; to, too and two. Did they choose the right one? I suspect not.
If you were looking for some part-time work, would this interest you?
So basically they are saying that it’s fine to illegally park in this car park. I’m not sure that’s what they meant to say.
You’re hungry and fancy a snack. Well, how about some of these?
I have no words for this one.
I hope this wasn’t presented to the English teacher.
I hope some of these have made you smile today. Just remember it always pays to get someone else to proofread your artwork before it finally goes to print or production, preferably someone good at spotting typographical errors. It will save you money and some embarrassment too.
