Saw this sign yesterday.

I saw this on local internet news a while back.

I’ve just seen some flowers on Facebook described as Japanese enemy 😀💐

These appeared on a FB site that auctions donations to fund help for people in need.

A newly qualified medical secretary (back in the day, using audio tapes for hospital clinical letters) was doing an orthopaedic clinic.

She typed “the patient was fitted with a Baloney dressing”

I checked her work over before her letters got sent over to the clinician for signature.

It was meant to be a “below knee” dressing!

Cattle wondering round the field.

There is (or was) an ice cream manufacturer somewhere in the West Country whose posters for their products were accompanied by text that described their happy cattle 'wondering' around the fields.

The poster was on the wall in a cafe near where I live, and every time I looked at it I couldn't help wandering wondering if I was the only person who ever noticed things like that. Now I know that I'm not.

Our local food bank was advertised in the parish magazine as "Hungary No More"

Microsoft can be to blame though. I have had it change their to there, and despite my having default English, I get corrections to US spelling. My favourite was changing the name of a concrete jungle school from Bushfield (bad enough) to Beautified.

Back to school has put out the latest batch of stationary offers.

Many years ago one of my students wrote that the astronomer circumcised (instead of circumscribed) the moon.
Another one maintained that the paralysed man (biblical story) climbed onto the roof. ???

My favourite is ‘chez lounge’ - seen in a ‘for sale’ ad.

It took me a little while to work out that they meant ‘chaise longue’!

I’ve posted this before. Corjets on a market stall.

I wonder if they had Unterjeans as well?

And why do I suspect this may not have been a mistake?
