However, one thing I noticed which the copy writer failed to (despite having the picture next to them) is that the word is spelt (obviously correctly lol) on the product image - so how can you get it wrong when it's there looking at you? I always find this happens with my name in work - people will email me and spell my name incorrectly and sometimes even call me something completely different, despite the fact that my name will have popped up in Outlook, I also have my name in my business signature - just pay attention people! Anyway sorry, I digress...photo below:
Welcome to my blog, focusing on the mistakes and downright bad English that can be found in various outlets for the written word. I have decided to record on this blog any errors I come across; whether it be emails, restaurant menus, online articles or in the printed press. I would like to stress now that my English isn't perfect and I don't know all the rules and my intention is not to berate or preach, just to inform. I will also inevitably make spelling errors and typos myself!

Tesco.com website
This is a spelling error I found recently and I only found it because I also spelt the word incorrectly! lol How ironic :) Anyway I was searching the website to find out the price of the dark chocolate cocoa powder from Cadbury's called Bournville cocoa powder. Now I just typed it in how I thought it was spelt, which was Bourneville and Tesco gave me approximately 4 products based on that spelling.
However, one thing I noticed which the copy writer failed to (despite having the picture next to them) is that the word is spelt (obviously correctly lol) on the product image - so how can you get it wrong when it's there looking at you?
