I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful Christmas season!  Here are a couple of cake gems to sweeten the holidays a little bit more.

Holiday’s Happe would make more sense provided that someone named Holiday owned a Happe.  However, that sounds a lot more like a phrase from a Dr. Seuss book than a snowman cake!

I believe this cake is actually telling the recipient to marry someone named Christnos.

Marry Christnos, everyone!

Typos sharpened, please?

We’ve all seen unnecessary apostrophes, right? But here’s a new one: adding commas where even apostrophes don’t belong. And as if that weren’t bad enough, they’ve graced us with a glaring misspelling as a bonus! Awfully generous, don’t you think?

What’s wrong with this picture?

1. The sign makers misspelled “within.”
2. They capitalized the “P” in “Prohibited.”
3. Next, “WAIT CONES” is unnecessarily shouted out in all caps.
4. Afterward, we find the appalling misspelling of the word “enforced.”
5. Finally, from a purely logical perspective, shouldn’t they be prohibiting parking in areas with wait cones, not in areas with no wait cones?

I can’t tell you how often I come across grammar and punctuation errors on flyers, store signs, marquees, banners, church bulletins, menus—which is why I never run out of material for Wordless Wednesday!  A few gems:

• Secretary’s Love Our Cakes! (spotted at DQ)
• Education at It’s Best! (ad for North Carolina A&T State Univ.)
• There back – Buffalo nuggets $2.99 (sign at Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits)

So imagine my joy at discovering that the Grammar Nerd Corrective Label Pack is now available as a peel-and-stick remedy for grammar faux pas everywhere.  This cracked me up!

I’m pathetic, I know. Maybe I should buy myself one of these T-shirts.

That’s right, people!  Take your smoking food, your drinks photography, and your pets elsewhere!

This is what happens when poor spelling collides with a New York accent.

If you’re like me, the atrocious spelling in this ad might take a few seconds to fully sink in.  First I noticed the obviously misspelled “suop,” then “shtimp,” then “lobter,” then… yikes!  There are only two properly spelled words in the whole ad!  Perhaps they actually serve their ramen with the meat of the dread “Lobter-Beef-Shtimp” monster along with some “chiken,” but I doubt it.

I find this sign rather distrubbing, don’t you?
