Do you have it?

Thanks to Jon C who sent me this photo of a window display promoting the G.I. Joe: Retaliation 3D film which was posted on Twitter by @john_oates.

Hello, John. Presumably that's your reflection we can see in the window.

G.I. Joe might have what it takes.

But clearly, whoever approved the display doesn't.

T-shirt analogy

Yet another from Dennis A who posted this on the My Typo Humour Facebook Page.

Thanks, Dennis.

I'll probably stick to just drinking in the pub I think.

Bottoms Up!

Stashed

Thanks to Dennis A for finding this one.

Well, you never know when it might come in...

Protecting Quo's status

Thanks to Dennis A for sending this one in via the Facebook Page.

In its excitement to reveal an ever-growing number of impressive acts booked to appear at the new Leeds Arena, the Yorkshire Evening Post fails to give one of them the recognition it deserves.

Er, make that 100 million record sales, YEP. That more than justifies the rack you mention.

Whereas 100; well that number would hardly make a peg.

Or two.

Down which your proofreading capabilities should be taken.

Under the influence

I'm delighted that the Peterborough branch of the MTH typo-spotting crew is growing.

Today we welcome Marion H who has sent in what must be the world's first hieroglyphic instruction leaflet.

In fact, it's an addendum to the instructions for a halogen oven which suggests that it's correcting some errors in the original instructions.

Well, if these are the corrections, I'd hate to see what the original looks like.

Honestly, I don't know where to start. So I won't.

But we can surely take a great deal of reassurance from the fact that the leaflet carries the green Quality Control Pass sticker. It's a sign of a fantastic quality standard.

Yes, fantastic.

I do notice, however, that someone has gone to a great deal of trouble to ensure that the last sentence is the clearest part of the whole document.

Yes, that one. The sentence that declares the blindingly obvious instruction: that 'the part marked BOTTOM must be on the underside of the glass bowl.' Good thing that we can read that one clearly. Otherwise who'd have guessed?

Incidentally, I read that Team UKI is yet another of those companies whose aim (according to its web site) is 'to provide the best of service, quality and value'.

I'm wondering if that means it's offering a choice between the three? And, in which one of them it feels it has achieved that aim with this leaflet.

I guess the document has been written by a Halogenic Oven Specialist.

But it reads as though it's been written by a Hallucinogenic Oven Specialist.
