As a copywriter I’m always terrified of missing a typo myself, but always very amused when I see other people’s public spelling mistakes - I believe it’s called schadenfreude. So following on from Rick Stein’s effort, I’m pleased to share with you some banners I saw in Birmingham at the weekend. These had the added amusement factor of being very large spelling mistakes and having one mistake repeated on the larger banners and a different one on the smaller one. The lesson for us all, clients and agency, is always check your proofs - because the printer won’t!

As a special bonus, while it’s not strictly a spelling mistake, I saw this sign in Bude recently. It made me laugh because whichever way you read it, it gives entirely the wrong idea about visitors to Bude.
