Funny Spelling Mistakes

My wife works in Tesco and on leaving work today, noticed a hell of a clanger on one of the customer ads, pinned up on the board...

An ad for what should have been a mahogany four post bed, described as...

Maghoney Dog...

I'm patenting that for a band name. I don't care if I'm never in a band, I'm fucking having that!!!

Smelling pistakes?  Hmm...

Not a spelling mistake per se, but I find the auto correct on my phone throws up some classics from time to time. Recently, I was arranging a weekend break at the Tour de France with my brother. I almost sent this message to him:

"So, just need to find a girl now in Lyon and we're all set."

Which should have read:

"So, just need to find a hotel now in Lyon and we're all set."

I have seen canine pepper instead of cayenne pepper in a number of pub restaurants over the years.

Before I met my wife I was seeing someone called Denise Horne. When I put her name into my contacts my phone changed it to "Dense Horny". I know they're smartphones, but I never realised they were that smart.

Gastro pub local to my workplace used to proudly boast a 'Selection of Deserts'


Delish! Make mine a Mojave please!

Knew a history teacher who told off a kid for answering the question 'name things you might find at an archaeological dig site' with 'penis'. He gave the whole take your education seriously speech and the kid got really upset and explained he had tried to write 'pennies'

Impotence instead of importance. Always makes me wonder if it was a Freudian slip!

My mates Uncle is called Clifford Owen Jones, when signing into a hotel in Mexico the receptionist starts laughing at his name, he signs it C O Jones (cojones) which is mildly amusing if you're a Spanish speaker.

You're jerking right?

...just smelling...

Not really "funny" just a kind perplexing feeling of "how do you let this happen?"
Today I noticed some new leaflets at one of the practices I work at.  I nabbed a couple.  It's a therapist who specialises in sexual dysfunction and relationship issues.

This person may be a good therapist but they can't spell and they don't recognise grammar so my first impression is "amateur".

How can you claim to be a specialist in sexual anything if you spell wanking as "Masterbation"?
How can you claim to be specialist in psychosexual dysfunctions if you spell psychosexual as "psycosexual"?
FFS, it's like saying, "Im a luthier, I'm a specialist in Gibzons"

If you're paying for a printed leaflet why wouldn't you get it proof read?  Simple shit like a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence and correct use of apostrophes.  On a forum if you make a few typos it's okay, not the end of the world.  But if you're paying to advertise your business?

Maybe I'm old skool but to me it looks shoddy.

You've been to Korea then.

There's a coffee shop near me called CoffeeWorx  and the drinks menu begins with expresso. I want to ask if it's  deliberate to tie in with the shop name or just bloody wrong.

I still remember my favourite ever typo. Many years ago now I did a report for court which contained a line something like ' Mr Smith feels he has a strong set of values ' but it went in as 'Mr Smith feels he has a strong set of valves.'

I was writing a uni assignment for my civil engineering course years ago, and in trying to talk about form work, I ended up with Forkmork....

Ever signed off an email with 'Retards' instead of 'Regards'? Easy slip to make

Haha yes! I've done that. At work as well...happily the recipient saw the funny side. Well, they had no choice because I was laughing for about ten minutes afterwards.

Somehow even funnier when you put 'Kind Retards'.

If ever have to name a new band it's going to be Superhuman Monkey Gods.

Also, once bet a friend at school he couldn't get the word clit into an american politics essay .. so he typed Clit Eastwood and his essay came back with Clit underlined .. best pound i ever spent.

Could be worse, lost count of autocorrects errors on my name...

Imagine, for example, if your surname was...oh let's pluck a name out of thin air...."Ennis".

Why, surely your grandparents wouldn't have given TWO of their sons christian names that began with "P", right......?
