Prey vs Pray

This comes courtesy of my friend Karen, discovered in the Sunday Mirror newspaper.

The paper's use of 'prey' rather than 'pray' does strike up amusing images in my head of this player hunting small animals or something on the pitch, not exactly what the newspaper hoped to convey I'm sure.

Clas Ohlson Manchester

I was quite excited when I found this next mistake - possibly an indication of how sad a life I lead :-)
I was mostly excited because this is an error that many many people must see everyday yet nothing has been done about it. I don't know how long it has been incorrect for as this is the first time I've seen this sign.

I saw the sign at the Clas Ohlson in Manchester Arndale Centre. It was the main store information sign at one of the entrances to the shop - see the picture below and spot the mistake!

It's a pretty clear spelling mistake, my eye was drawn straight to it - ofiice instead of office. I imagine it's not been corrected due to money constraints but it's still poor to leave it up. I wonder if any of the other signs around the shop also have this mistake or if it's just this particular sign...

Closer magazine online

I've had this one for quite some time (in fact my next few entries will be like this!). Even though I've not been posting new entries on here, doesn't mean I haven't still been on the look out for errors! :)

This next one is from Closer magazine online and it was on their competition page:

As you can see, the competition states that the film Red Lights is out on 'Blu-ray' but that the winner of the competition can win a 'blue ray' player. I'm no expert (not owning such a device myself) but I'm not sure these two things are compatible - I may be wrong of course ;-)
Always worth double checking your copy!

Groupon email

It's been a while since my last post but hopefully I'll be a bit more consistent going forward!
This latest error came to me in an email, an email from Groupon to be specific. It's not a huge error and is only a typo from what I can tell. As you can see from the below picture, 7-Peice has been typed instead of 7-Piece, a simple mistake but one that should have been checked!
