Typo Patrol: Tons of stosrage

Ever heard of stosrage?

I hadn’t either until I came across this real estate flyer. If you look closely, stosrage is clearly listed as one of the home’s “Fabulous Features.” Hmm….stosrage doesn’t sound too fabulous to me. In fact, it sounds a little violent and a lot scary.

Typo Patrol: Park “paralle” to wall

Typo Patrol: Park

I must preface this post with an apology of sorts. I know I am a Boise native. I know I should love and adore Boise State University. After all, I was born in a hospital less than 5 minutes away from campus. This seems to be more reason than many BSU lovers have for their [...]

Typo Patrol: Inagural Belssings and Sympotoms

Perhaps you recall my magazine addiction. I LOVE them. I love how they feel, I love how they smell — yes, I said smell — I love everything about them. And when I see a nice, locally produced magazine it’s like I’m a moth drawn to a flame.

A fortune cookie’s advice

A fortune cookie's advice

Remember my experience with a certain typo-littered chopstick wrapper? I am convinced that restaurants are some of the best places to find funny typos. They’re often found on menus, and sometimes…within fortune cookies.

(In the interest of full disclosure, what I’m about to show you is not a typo. It’s just really, really ridiculously funny.)

Typo Patrol: Getting “airborn”

Typo Patrol: Getting

haven’t been feeling quite myself lately. I have a persistent, yet mild, sore throat and a general feeling of malaise. (I just love that word. Malaise.) So I’ve been mixing up a daily cocktail of raspberry-flavored Emergen-C and a drugstore brand of cold remedy similar to Airborne. It’s quite good, actually…

Typo Patrol: Then vs. Than

If the word than were to challenge the word then in a duel, who do you think would win? Yeah. Ponder that one for a while.

(These are the ridiculous things that go through my mind when I find typos, by the way. In case you were wondering.)

Typo Patrol: A typo on the trail

We did plenty of short, fun hikes during our Oregon Coast vacation. The kind of hikes that inspire peace, reflection, inspiration….and IRRITATION at the most annoying typo of all time!

Typo Patrol: On Canada and mushrooms

As much as I love the idea of buying local, I have to admit: I don’t do it as often as I should or would like to. But had I purchased a locally produced package of mushrooms instead of these ’shrooms from our neighbors to the north, I wouldn’t have found this typo!

Health care, or heath care?

Health care, or heath care?

Heath care reformThe debate over health care reform is everywhere lately. And I think the CG person at MSNBC (in short, the person who types in all the crawls and graphics) must be getting a little weary of typing HEALTH CARE REFORM.

Oops! It’s another typo!

Oops! It's another typo!

This is another case of an unnecessary apostrophe.

My thanks go out to AnchorMommy reader Sandy Larsen for this one. Sandy found the error while reading the online user’s manual for her new Samsung Impression cell phone. (I have to hand it to you, Sandy — you actually read the manual. Online, no less.)
