Bad English.

[Arch]

When walking around town, I often have to fight the urge to buy a marker pen / Tipp-Ex and correct all the misplaced apostrophes on shop signs and posters.

Oh, sorry, I mean misplaced apostrophe's on shop sign's and poster's.

Saw something even better the other day. At the local tip, there's a box for books for charity. On it, a laminated A4 sign said, "Please do not put video,s in this box. Or toy,s"

(It's really hard to type that, I got it right first time and had to 'correct' it)

I pass a sign when going to and from work where they have used privet for private.

There's a hand painted sign on a gate on one of the local cycle routes I use. It says "Sheep! Keep dogs on lead". Not really bad English; but it always amuses me when I picture a sheep holding a lead with a dog on the end of it .

Those are the kind of signs I love.

I also like "No Dogs allowed accept guide dogs" - I am so impressed that the dog can read.

Another one that made me chuckle was on a train "Failure to adhere to this notice will result in ......." So if you aren't glued to it you are in trouble

There's a pub in town with a big mirror inside saying Jerry,s Wine Bar

I went to a pub once, had a drink and left. Didn't see any signs with errors. Carry on.

One at the gym I used to attend: These doors are alarmed. (What? Did they hear a gun shot or something?)

 

[Amheirchion]

I used to know a guy that raced sidecars, he had a sticker on his bike saying "This bike is alarmed, the rider is pretty worried too."

Don't you mean 'privet for privacy'?

I worked for some years (part time then full time) as a hospital cleaner. One particular floor polish said on it "do not mix with other cleaners". That was a particularly lonely time.

I always enjoy

adverts which boldly state, "Nothing works better than ......". So save your money!

A fair cop, is 'privet instead of private' better?

That belongs to my wife and I. No, it belongs to my wife and me.
My husband and me are going to France. No, my husband and I are going...
(If you ever get stuck in a case like this think what you would say if it was just you, That belongs to I sounds daft.)

I seen you last night. WRONG, you ocularly observed me.

Also Either my husband or I are going to France. No, Either my husband or I am going to France
