Since I work as a proofreader
(and I don't proofread my own work - only that of others!)
I always get a big kick out of seeing signs which contained misspelled words.

Too funny!
I'm with you ... I love catching others typos. Especially in magazines or newspapers!
Our county has "Egg and Winnie" tacos for sale.
Love the tralior for rent!
I am a champ speller too, and mispells make me crazy! I want to fix them, whether they are in pencil, pen, typed or painted.However, I rarely do!

Florida, sad to say, has a boatload of these misspelled signs!! One day I saw a sign in which a Daycare was advertising their services and there was a misspelling...I would definitely NOT send my child there.
Ha! I think some people think spelling rules are for fuddy duddies.
I don't think many people can proofread their own work. I certainly can't as my eyes tend to see what they "know" is there. Believe it or not, I have also worked as a proofreader. Like most people, I can see other people's mistakes way better than my own. :))
Haha! I found one of those not too long ago. I should post it. Thanks for the laugh!
oh, deer. oops. i mean oh, dear! ha ha!
LOL!!
my problem is as i have aged i find myself doing things like these signs and thank goodness for the red squiggle that comes up under misspelled words. when reading our local news paper i am appalled at the spelling and punctuation or
lack there of. also i find more and more errors in the books i read, as if the proof readers are not finding them and in the kindle books there are many more errors than in printed ones.
These are wonderful examples of creative spelling. :) I'm wondering what the (m-o-r) means in the first sign though? Do you know?
Oh, wait! Just as I hit the publish button it came to me....mustard, onion, relish!
This really is kind of funny. I wonder if anyone told them.
Sad sign of the times.
these are funny.:p
i wonder if anyone had asked about the "tralior for rent".:p
Thank you for sharing this gem!

Too funny! I'm an honorary member of the spelling police, but I never get paid for it ;>) and mistakes always make me laugh.
Oh wow, these are great.
Well weathered.

Hi Kathy!
This is so funny! I love to proofread other peoples writings. And I think it is not possible to proofread own texts. Don´t ask how often I have to correct my posts...
Liebe Grüße,
Pia
