Misspelling of the Month
Words To Live By (Almost)
March 1, 2012
While the customer may always be right, this sign on a bulletin board display at the Food & Finance High School in New York City has a repeated spelling mistake, as well as some questionable grammar. And where's the punctuation?
Bargain Basement
February 1, 2012
Does spelling really matter when the price is so low? You bet it does! An extra "S" and a misplaced dollar sign were enough to mar any bargain hunter's day. Taken in the Corningware store at the Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley, New York.
Unhappy Hour

French words are tricky. Even so, we'd expect a pricey restaurant like the Assembly to refrain from throwing up letters indiscriminately and check a dictionary before broadcasting their mistake to all passers-by. Taken in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
Bagel Bob's
December 1, 2011
Who knew that "sandwiches" was such a hard word for bagel vendors to spell? This is the second bagel store we caught misspelling the word. (See April 2011 for the first.) Today's mistake is courtesy of Bagel Bob's in Greenwich Village, New York. Bob's bagels are great. His spelling? Not so much.
We Buy Anything

I saw this sign in September, but fortunately it was still there when I went back two months later. Besides the stunning spelling mistake, I wish there were another period in OK. Found on Lakeview Avenue near Crooks Avenue in Paterson, New Jersey.
Happy Halloween!

A juicy misspelling, straight from the streets of New York.

And out of luck, whether you're seeking to quench your thirst for water or proofreading expertise.

If you "bare" right, the fun is just beginning.

One photo; two misspellings. Can you find them? (Hint: Bialys is spelled correctly.)

Misspelling of the Month
Do you know how bad karaoke can make you cringe? Well, the spelling on this sign, seen at a restaurant on Greenwich Avenue in New York City, has the same effect on me. All the typesetter had to do was copy the spelling on the graphic!
