HA! I missed that one I guess. Remnit.
And yes, yes he or she should. You would think.
I just remembered another one: MidStates Bolt & Screw.
No misspelling and it would be even more amusing if "Bolt" and "Screw" were reversed but my inner 12-year-old boy has a little silent guffaw when I drive past one of their signs.
Yesterday I parked in a Jersey City parking garage. When I stopped at the booth to pay the nice Indian attendant, I noticed he had a sign off to the side, decorated with smiley sun faces, that said, "Coming soon from bathroom". Everything was spelled correctly, though!

Oh, I saw (and responded) to the humus cheese thread. The OP hasn't come back to clarify though. I wonder if he meant feta cheese? Being from the same region of the world and all.
Aside from the fact that hummus is misspelled, something that is composed of garbanzo beans, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, mint leaves, and salt--with nary a speck of dairy products--is certainly not a cheese.
Hah! This thread should be renamed after the website called Engrish.com

Hopefully their skill with medical laboratory procedures is better than their language skills.
When I read that my first reaction is "Patient's WHAT? Finish the dang sentence!"

Thanks for the reminder of the engrish.com link, it's been a while since I've looked at it.
Speaking of abused apostrophes...
