We all make errors, and sometimes, those errors can make us look like idiots. Especially when that error gets published out in the world, even though it likely went through a host of gatekeepers to get there. And that's why we're here. To shame those gatekeepers with an internet scarlet S. I don't expect you to be perfect. It takes a village, and every village has an idiot. But for the sake of your company's reputation, hire a village that has at least one member THAT CAN SPELL.

I prefer pancakes.

GET OUT THERE AND VOTE, FELLOW AMERICANS!

Ahem. Back to the task at hand.

Two submissions today from my friend JR, who has apparently gone on some sort of fire-related spending spree.

Fortunately, in this instance, she assures me her child is "ofer" 36 months.

Clearly, it's just a typo, since the D and the F are next to each other on the keyboard, but it's really a shame that the typo made it to printing and packaging.

Friends who speak other languages: is what you can see there spelled correctly? Does that sentence need two idades? I'm concerned this may be some sort of international house of horrors.

Also, my favorite German word has always been schnell, but it may now have been replaced by aufbewahren. It sounds like what you scream at the screen when you're watching a horror movie. "Dude, don't go in there! AUFBEWAHREN!"

(Thanks, JR!)
