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.

It's back!


Sure, the post schedule has slowed down, but the menu/food-related errors sure haven’t. 

From regular submitter AS comes this menu from a coffee meeting of hers. Have a look at the soups of the day. I would prefer that my potato not leak out of my soup, wouldn’t you?

Not to mention the Cesar salad up there. Maybe it’s a salad made by Cesar? Eh, maybe not. 


MAB took this at one of my favorite salad spots. I spotted a spelling error at the same restaurant the same day, but didn’t have a chance to snap a pic. Fortunately, MAB was more on top of things than I was.

Here in LA, whenever they misspell a protein name, I worry that it’s actually substitute meat, but I don’t think that’s what they mean here. Surely, they’d have gone with “chickn” instead of “proten.” PROTEIN, people. It’s what’s for lunch. 


There are a LOT of problems here, but I guess I can grant points for consistency?

I would guess these are drinks from the Fringe alt-verse, but that was spelled wrong differently. This is all a part of Windmark’s evil plan, isn’t it?

That’s…a lot…of ellipses. And an extraneous hyphen. And a dessert that sounds pretty gross to me. But I’m pretty firm in my belief that anything that is not chocolate is a waste of time. 


And finally, just remember that you should only use the restroom at the restaurant if you’re a customer. Otherwise, there could be a problem.
