Nice apostrophe usage, McDonald's!

Step right up if you're ready for the first day of school!

Hang on—not so fast there, Worcester North High.

"WELCOME BACK SCOLARS"?

If at first you don't sucseed . . .

Spell, spell again! (Via.)

They're the freshets!

Thanks, Lee Wassink!

Got that write.

Via.

Every time you make a typo, the errorists win.

This is a huge mistake.

It should read "fewer possibilities." :)

In case you can’t see it, the top of the window to the left of “less” has been opened. So it slide down over the outside of the lower part of the window. And since the windows are all tinted, that obscures the “end-” that’s painted there! (Via.)

My ears can't believe what they're seeing!

Via.

Please keep it down.

I'm taking a test! (Via.)

Aw, you shouldn't have!

No really. You shouldn't have. (Via.)

Nobody likes a now-it-all!

I just jumped in the air and high-fived myself!

[singing] *They spelled "correction" wrong! "They spelled correrction" wrong!* Via.

The answer is "No!"

Reactions from funny people

Dale Basye: They'll have to pry my fun out of my cold dead hands!

David Michael Slater: They might just find that fun.

Ellen Price: Is that control of fun, or is fun being used as an adjective (which gets my goat every time), describing the control? If we need more controlled fun, then no. If we need control to be more entertaining or enjoyable, well, I wouldn't mind seeing some police officers bursting into song and dance now and then.

Nice catch!

Strangely unimpressive.

"LIBARY"? Come on.

You know what's great about Portland? Me.

Here in Portland, we have a mayor's race underway. One of the candidates is Charlie Hales, a gentleman who has an essay in today's Oregonian. (His article is in response to a previous opinion piece by Dave Lister.) Hales' essay starts this way:

Like many readers, I was disappointed, if not surprised, by Dave Lister's latest broadside attacking smart growth, transit, East Coast transplants, urban renewal, bicycles, myself and most other things that are great about Portland.

Did you see that? By using the word "myself" at the end of the list of things that are great about Portland, Mr. Hales has explicitly stated that HE is one of the things that is great about Portland!

I love it. I also think this is a fine campaign slogan:

Charlie Hales: One of the great things about Portland.

Addendum: I'm voting for Hales. Seriously. Not because of this, though.

Addendum II: It's official.

Houston, we have a typo.

Ooh, and here's a fun headline from the Times Picayune.
