Et To?
For no awe-inspiring reason, I'm going to experiment with a Flickr set dedicated to dumb typos and grammatical goobers I find.

Turn around
C'mon, Steve, you should know better than this. It's ’06, not ‘06. Apostrophes always curve or lean to the right. An open single quote mark is not the same character as an apostrophe.

Typo On Flickr
Who'd have thought I'd find a mistake for my Typo Zone set right here on the Flickr web site?

Which manager?
From a T-Bell receipt.

Conference room culpa
Seen at a Panera Bread restaurant's conference room.

New upholstery material?
I've gotta check out this new "vynil" stuff. Sounds intriguing.

Apostrophe catastrophe
New service request’s what? Can a service request even possess anything?

Apostrophe catastrophe redux
Snapped off the TV during some Animal Planet show.

More apostrophe stupidity
Seen in the Kentucky State Fair.

Continued apostophe zaniness
...not to mention the fact that I've been successfully convinced the
proper word is till and not 'till. (This shot was taken from a index booklet of monthly art and stock photography I use. I'd have thought Liquid Library's designers would know better.)

CNN Home Page Typo
Right there on CNN's home page, the common "teh" for "the" mistake!
UPDATE: maybe it wasn't a mistake after all!

The missing letter is this sign's grade

Worst apostrophe catastrophe ever=EPIC FAIL
Just as I'm believing we may all just have to accept the fact that most people are never going to learn the difference between "its" and "it's," I see this insane flub!

t4he
I realize it's VERY hard to make out in this blurry photo, but a stray number 4 digit found it's way into the word, "the."

A "registered" typo

Finished before it began
Usually, the gripe is that an open quotation mark goes in front of something like, the '90s, when it's supposed to be a close single quotation mark. Maybe they company saved not only time, but money by not rendering out both types of double quotation marks.

Pppppttt! I'm giving the Rasberry a Raspberry.
So how is it someone manages to spell "vinaigrette" properly, but not "raspberry?"

Great job at minimum effort by Kane's Furniture TV commercial

I strongly doubt SFY closes at 10 or 11 at night only to re-open an hour or two later
8740194632_93fa9673e8_h

…and conservatives who can't spell
Before someone says that this photo is blurry and that the letter "I" is jammed up against the letter "B," let me assure you that, seeing it with my own eyes, there was definitely no letter "I."
