Hello again!
My apologies for another big break from posting on this blog.
I have just received an email from PANDORA - the jewellery company who make pretty bracelets and charms, amongst other items.
Today the email had a link to their e-magazine, showing off their new 'street style' charms.
The error is a simple one - though it's not easy to tell whether it's a typo or lack of knowledge of which spelling was correct for the sentence. In the middle of the image it says 'click images too see more styles'. 'Too' of course should read 'to'.
On a separate note, I really like the New York and Rome charms (I should have made the image larger so you could see the Rome one - sorry!)
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!

Pistachio Restaurant
Hello again everyone!
It's been such a long time - my last post was September 2011! How time flies. In all this time though I haven't been ignoring all those errors that come along.
I'll ease myself back into it with a small typing error found on the Pistachio Restaurant website here
Can you spot it?
It's within the American Breakfast description...to the right...to the right...yep that's it. I usually like my eggs scrambled rather than scrambles :)
I'm almost tempted to let them off as the menu looks delicious but I just can't do it.
Remember you can let me know if you spot any errors anywhere online, in a newspaper or magazine - anywhere as long as it isn't a general email or something!
