When misspellings are sweet

Yes, the difference a letter makes.

They might not have the spelling correct, but the recipe is on-point. 

I'll try this one of these days.

The recipe. Not the misspelling.

Peace in a cup

The world is really starting to become a scary place.

Countries attacking each other. Governments taking up arms and striking at one another. Talks that these little wars might escalate to a big one.

Gosh! It's safe to say that the only thing that the people of the world want right now is peace.

And while it's hard to imagine that in the current state of global affairs, this store in Ali Mall was able to capture the sentiment in a cup.

If it were only this easy.

That's so False!

Here's yet another example of how quality seems to have flown out the window.

They used false copy as stand-in for this video. And they didn't replace or remove it.

Gosh! Back when my advertising career began, this would've been a huge no-no. But these days, people with just shrug it off and say: "that video won't last long anyway."

Proofreader - and higher standards - please.

Eek!

For the Nth time, it's "Sneak Peek" and not "Sneak Peak."

Proofreader, please!

Foods for thought

For the Nth thousandth time, people. Adding "s" doesn't make "food" plural.

Proofreader, please.

Take it back

There are a lot of words that sound the same when spoken, but very different when spelled. This often causes confusion, especially when it's time to write down the word,

Here's a good example:

It's obvious that they meant "racerback."

Proofreader, please.

It's the S!

No, this isn't a post about Skechers.

It's about this funny bag.

You'll know it when you see it.

Yes, one letter can make all the difference.

Arrrr you sure?

They say that the Japanese language uses a lot of letter "r"s, especially when they speak English.

Guess they're taking that too seriously.

Saw this at Shisui and couldn't help but chuckle.

I'd ask for a proofreader, but this isn't their native tongue, so it's okay.

H-bomb

"Spaghetti" should be an easy word to spell, right?

Right?

Makes me wonder where the "h" went. Was it his day off? Did he fall into the spaghetti?

Proofreader, please.

City of confusion

Had to go back and look at this frame from an online video that passed through my feed.

Had to look at it again, then screenshot it just to be sure.

After much examination, my hunch is correct. The city that they identified as "Bangkok" is actually Hong Kong! Having lived there for 4 years, those neon signs jutting out from office buildings are quintessential HKG.

The editor must've been confused.

The Proper word

I was today years old when I realised that this was the correct line from the wickedly popular song from "Wicked."

All this time, I thought it was "With the proper poise..."

Let me file this under "misheard lyrics" now.

Designer insects?

My first thought that it might be a knock-off brand. But since it was in Central World, it had to be legit.

Turns out, it's just a misspelling. The name on the logo is correct, and it was the name on the directory that was wrong.

Wonder how Guy Laroche would feel if he found out that his brand was turned into a reviled insect.

Proofreader please!

It's the "S"

No, this post isn't about Skechers.

What it's about is how the letter "s" can change a word dramatically.

Observe.

Spotted this at Don Quixote in Shibuya. 

Admittedly though, "Emergency Exist" sounds like a cool sci-fi film.

Proofreader, please!

Let there be peas

The buffet must be the most environment-friendly on that I've seen.

Come on, guys. "Peas" isn't such a hard word to spell.

Proofreader, peas.

I mean, please.

A study in errors

"Arrivals" should be an easy word to spell, right?

Apparently not.

From "Arrivals" to "Arrals" real quick? Yup, this is a real post on the Lazada app.

Proofreader please!

Gimme a hand

I've seen this sign so many times, and it always gets me.

So, you're just supposed to wash one hand? Or one hand at a time?

Proofreader please!

Staff it, okay?

Yes, a letter makes a world of difference.

They really shouldn't treat their staff like toys.

Or maybe, they're toys for the staff.

Oh, the things you find in Divisoria.

Bad Romance

Nope, this isn't a Lady Gaga post.

It's about how a simple, inadvertent switch of a letter, a word changes completely.

Observe:

Proofreader, please!

What’s the Plan?

Apparently, it’s Leche.

Proofreader, please!

Uh-“O”

Aside from “Sneak Peek” and “Sneak Peak,” another common mistake is the use of “Lose” and “Loose.”

It might seem simple, but a lot of people still get it wrong.

Observe:

O what a difference an “o” makes.
