Lecturers Error

In one of my recent lectures I came across an error on a powerpoint. This spelling mistake here is clearly shown...

The word analysis has been spelt with a double aa on the front.

Disney Trivia Error

Whilst playing Disney Trivia over the easter break I came across my next error. Shame on you Disney for missing this very obvious error. 

Under the green question it asks 'What is always myproblem?', the error here is that there is no space in-between the words 'myproblem'. It should therefore read 'What is always my problem?'

Stand Up Poetry Series Errors

In one of my student handbooks I came across an error under the Stand Up Poetry Series. Once again, due to the educational handbook I was surprised to find any error but came across two. The first is 'day to day' which has been underlined. The three words needs to read 'day-to-day' in order for the words to flow.

The second is the accuracy of the three days 'Thursday 18th March,' is actually not a real date. The correct date would have either have been 'Thursday 19th March' or 'Wednesday 18th March.' 

Takeaway Confusion

It is well known that many Takeaway Menus contain mistakes and my local Indian Takeaway is no exception. The grammatical errors on the front of the leaflet left me cringing. Highlighted in the box is the first error and it comes after the comma, the 'a' has been capitalised questioning the purpose of the comma. The next problem is the following line, 'a charge will apply for out of radius' this line seems very clumsy and you need to read it a few times to understand. The statement should read:

'free home delivery within yeovil on orders over £10.00, there will be a charge for orders outside the area'. 

The next problems are on the back of the menu. This error is one for consistency, though nothing has been spelt wrong the Indian Takeaway has not checked for consistency. The Set Meals states 'Set Meal One' the next two state 'Set Meal For Two' 'Set Meal for Four'. The errors begin with 'Set Meal One' which should read 'Set Meal For One'.  The second mistake is within 'Set Meal for Four', the word 'for' should follow the previous two options with the 'F' being a capital letter for consistency. It should therefore read:

Set Meal For One 

Set Meal For Two 

Se Meal For Four 

The final error is found within the terms and conditions. The first line under the Terms and Conditions contains one error, there has been a capital letter inserted in 'Please' when there is no need for one after the use of the comma. It should therefore read:

Free Delivery within Yeovil, please mention offer when ordering.

Even you Professor?

I find it quite amusing when I come across an error made by own of my own lecturers. It is not something I would expect to see, but proves that no one is perfect and even the smartest can make errors. I'm sure Mr Meyer, Head of Creative Writing, intended t spell the word 'correct' right, but obviously the urgency of the email made him forget to proofread.

Not again!...

Well Daily Mail, we had hoped you would be able to change the error of your ways (see what I did there - error?) but clearly this is not the case. The photo description has not been your greatest strength recently, so perhaps changing the way you label the photos will help.
This is not 'Gigi Hadid' and this is by far a casual ensemble. Instead we have Chloe Sims. 

Oh Daily Mail..

The Daily Mail is a widely trusted newspaper and so you would presume the website to be also. Now I will not lie and say that I am not addicted to the Tv & Showbiz section of the website because I am, it can be very satisfying to read about celebrity lives for a little while. But when you come across an error it can be a little embarrassing to be reading it. 

In this photo Jessica Alba has really changed as has her outfit, which has shifted from 'Cute Crop top and Prom skirt' to a three-quarter sleeve dress. 
If, like me, you are aware of who Jessica Alba actually is then it is very obvious that this lady is 'Kelly Brook'! 

Nevermind Daily Mail there is always next time... 

Here Comes a Prancing Doe

Blogging is something I love to do and I make no intention of hiding this. The more I blog, the more I want to improve my skills and the look of my blog. Therefore, I decided it was time to purchase a custom design from Etsy. I had been introduced to one particular seller through a magazine so I had no doubt they would be able to help - that was until I found this stunning error. 

Whilst I can slide past the American spelling of customised I cannot hide from the mistake within the asterisks and highlighting the area in this way makes the error even worse. I am sure a 'Doe' will not help me in applying the template. 

Therefore the error should read:

 *DOES NOT'

The First Error

 On a recent trip to Sherborne to visit some of the local Antique Stores I came across my first Error. A quaint tea shop displayed a poster stating ‘Gluten Free Antiques,’ I'm sure,however, that Antiques are not Gluten Free, but rather the cakes they sold inside were and they also just happen to sale Antiques. This demonstrates the attention to the layout has been lost. 

I would suggest the poster should say:

Gluten Free Products
and Antiques

Dossier of Errors

This blog is dedicated to my publishing assignment entitled 'Dossier of Errors'. I will be creating a ‘Dossier of Errors’; finding mistakes online and out in the world. I do hope they continue to be entertaining and thrilling as time goes by. 

An error in a piece of text can be a vital mistake. One small error can result in the piece of text no longer being read with the loss of credibility for the author. We are constantly publishing, whether it be with social media online, creating work on a day-to-day basis and also, of course, in book publishing. Therefore, ensuring editing is properly made before publishing anything is very important.
