I work in a library, and I have a coworker who constantly says, "liberry." She has a Masters degree, and yet, "liberry."

I laughed so hard when I read that one word! I saw the Pink Panther in the attic.

I copied and pasted from a real employment agency. Even I can spell this word without spell check.

Well, wasn't me, didn't follow the Amanda Knox story. If it weren't for spell check...

Man that one drives me nuts!

I also love, "acept" for "except".

Great thread, haha. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but I keep hearing people say "I was kind of taken back by it." Taken aback! Taken aback!

While reading a well-known website earlier this week, someone mentioned they were going to get their dog 'spade'. I howled!

Our wedding planner said, "pitcher" for "picture." Drove me nuts.

or when people say "I could care less." It's "I COULDN'T care less."
That one drives me nut's. <<<haha.

I'll never forget a sign I saw once that advertised pizza slices for "$.50 cents a slice". I wanted to go in and hand them a penny cut in half and ask for a piece.

Great thread, would read it all but 51 pages is too much even for me.

I browse craigslist a lot, and the misspellings there are both perplexing and humorous. I searched this thread and noticed that a couple of other people notice these, but here they are anyway.

"Dinning" for dining - I think I see this spelling more than the correct spelling. There used to be a restaurant in Tustin or Santa Ana, CA, right next to the freeway, with a huge painted sign that said "Family Restaurant Dinning" and I just thought, how could you not check the spelling before you painted that on your restaurant?

On that note, this is a restaurant in Manchester, NH, that I had to take a picture of their misspelling of Mandarin for posterity. I might give them a break on a menu or something, but, again, on a sign?



"Rod" iron - I cannot believe how often I see this spelling for wrought.

"Otterman" - I see this too, all the time, for ottoman. I also have seen automan and other strange spellings.

I just saw this one last night - "sopha" for sofa.

And yes, I'm certain I may have made a typo in this post, it happens every time I talk about this subject.
