Another e-mail that a friend sent me – seems they think I like this stuff.
Hmmmmmmm
Too funny!
I love this post. I don’t know if this is an example of ‘Kiwi humor’ (or not), but any one of these headlines could have been printed (or misprinted) in the US. So glad that I’m no longer a professional proofreader.
I think that these mistakes can be found in any country – shamefully. Some of them are from the US. Glad it tickled your funny bone…
LOL! As someone with a degree in English, I can only shake my head and thank the Gods that I am not the one who has to grade them. Thanks for sharing!
I get making mistakes – we all do. And sometimes no matter how many times you proof-read something you miss one thing – but these papers must have proper proof-readers and editors – there is no excuse for them to get it so wrong.
That’s hilarious, but it’s also no surprise. Here in the UK text write is taking over and an awful lot of young people have no clue how to punctuate and spell correctly. As a student for the last few years, I’m shocked by how much I have forgotten since my grammar school education.
It saddens me that we have lost that…
Hilarious! Tweeted and Stumbled! It was worthy!
So glad you liked
.
Your commentary for each one was the best part!
I wish I could take credit for them buy the writer in me won’t allow me too – a friend sent me the e-mail – inclusive were many of the comments – though I did add the odd one…
Seems like we can all use a little proofreading. (should be “but” in the first sentence, not “buy”)
Did ya miss me?
Oh yes – the Cap’n is back !!!!!!!! I was tempted to change it to ‘but’ and delete this – but nah !!!!!
I love these!
Thanks – glad to you see about again…
One-armed man applauds the kindness of strangers
Oh you are twisted too – I like !!!!!!!
A truly excellent compilation here Jo
and how crazy are they for adding such
nonsense, and even worse not even
spot their ridiculousness
Have a funtastic rest of week and a
superb weekend filled with everything
that you enjoy the most

Oh but we are weird and wonderful creatures – so maybe it should not be surprising…
This is hysterical. Your comments are just as funny!
Glad you like it – but can’t take ALL the credit for the comments – some of them came with…
Hilarious shares!
Glad you thought so my friend.
Great list! Keep them coming.
Glad you enjoyed them.
Yes, very funny read, Jo. Thank you for posting them!
You’re most welcome !!
Ha ha, made me laugh – things like this really jump out at me. I must admit I’m a bit of a nerd who reads things like reviews and the other day I was reading a review for an air-bed and the person had put, ‘Inflatable Bed!! Go for this one and it will not let you down!!’ I just love the things people write in all innocence. Thanks for sharing!
Oh now that is funny – you’re right – people just sail on innocent of their gaffs (I include myself in that category sometimes – well most times actually) hehehe
That was funny – thanks for the laugh!
So glad you stopped by and had a laugh. I aim to please.
