Newz Bar menu

This error comes courtesy of Carol :) Carol is very good at spotting errors and likes to pass them onto me but she won't just tell me what she's found, she makes me work for it by sending a link and letting me find it myself lol.

The following link showcases a whole array of spelling errors, one of which is a consistent error, meaning it wasn't just a typo, it was lack of knowledge on how to spell the word: http://www.newzbar.co.uk/menu.pdf

The first screenshot shows one main error and a couple of minor ones. Let's start with the main one - 'Pawn salad' which should obviously be Prawn salad and in the bit just underneath they do go on to spell it correctly, making this a simple typo - yet written in bold, it seems to stand out more.

The second error is something which I think I'm being a little picky over and may not be too important, but I feel it warrants a small mention. At the top on the right hand side underneath the main title of 'Grilled chicken' it goes on to describe it as 'Grill chicken served with chips...'. To me this doesn't flow very well and it really should repeat the title as it is grilled chicken and not grill chicken.

The third error is again being a little picky but underneath the 'Beer battered fish & chips' the description goes on to mention Homemade tartare sauce - ok was there really a need for a capital letter in the middle of the description? It just appears randomly and as it is in the middle of a sentence, it should be lowercase.

On to the next screenshot.
The first error on this section, an error repeated a second time, is that according to this menu both the Welsh Rarebit and the Homemade Beef Burger come with 'chedder' cheese. This is a silly mistake to make and one that could have been easily rectified by just Googling the spelling. Although I suppose if you have no reason to believe it isn't spelt that way then why check it out? This should have been 'cheddar'.
The second error is another spelling one. The menu incorrectly spells the word 'worcester' as 'worchester', not quite the same ring to it.

Ok, last screenshot I promise :)
Again only one 'error' on this bit and to be fair this is an error I make myself, not specifically in the same way but it's a word I'm never sure how to spell...and that word is 'humous' which appears under Mediterranean Vegetable Wrap. I did have to Google this to make sure of the correct spelling and Google is happy with both hummus and houmous but not humous. That said, there are plenty of articles more than willing to spell it the same way as on this menu so I'm not convinced that this is a genuine 'error'.

So all in all, there are a fair amount of errors on this menu and this restaurant/bar is considered one of the top 100 'World's Best Bars' (number 43 in fact) and boasts famous visitors and WAGs. You would think for such a prestigious bar that they would ensure their menu would be correct. 

Party Pieces Website spelling error

This spelling error comes courtesy of Karen, who found it on the party pieces website. The specific web address for this error is http://www.partypieces.co.uk/kids-party-children-s-parties-party-supplies/kids-party-themes/hello-kitty-red-apple-party.html

In the paragraph at the top of this page you will see that the word gorgeous has been incorrectly spelled as 'gorgous'. A simple typo to make but one that hasn't been noticed for a while as Karen first sent me the info on this error at the beginning of July and I took this screen shot tonight.

Digital Spy spelling error

Hello all

Apologies for the long break (not including my recent Italian blog post), life just seems to have taken over as it so often can :)

Anyway I'm going to (hopefully) get back into the swing of posting all the errors I've had saved up. I'm going to start with the latest one, purely because I found it only last night so it's still fresh in my mind.

As you will have gathered from the title, this error was discovered on the digital spy website (an otherwise brilliant website!) on a news article about Demi Lovato - God knows why I was reading this in the first place! I think I was intrigued by the idea of a 'sober party' and wanted to see if that was literally just a party with no alcohol and it was. Little did I know I would also find a spelling error/typo.

The error comes in the form of spelling her song name incorrectly, 'Skypscraper' rather than 'Skyscraper'. I did check this out as I thought it was strange she would be singing about Skype but hey, you never know. Further down the page where it leads to further links of interest to Demi Lovato fans, the song name is again spelled incorrectly as 'Skyscaper' so a whole different spelling this time.

I know Demi Lovato isn't going to be high up on many people's lists of 'stars to read about' but that doesn't mean she deserves to have her song name spelled incorrectly...twice. I say this in jest as I know these are just accidental typos but it should have been checked.

Rome, Italy

I've just come home from a weeks holiday in Rome with 3 of my friends. We had a great time and ate in some really nice places. The reason I'm writing about this here is because I wanted to mention the English we saw on the menus. Now I know it's quite unfair to put it on here which is why I don't have any specific examples; and I know that at least they put their menus in English, you wouldn't find many restaurants here that would put their menu in another language. But still, it was quite amusing at times how they spelled various words and also if they didn't know the English word they would just repeat the Italian :)
I would like to point out again that I was extremely impressed with their attempt to make everything understandable to us English lot who seem to refuse to learn other languages efficiently enough to be able to converse with people, even when we're in their country. Despite this, I still thought it worth a mention :)
