Shopping in Busselton

I just returned from a trip to Busselton, a tourist town in our state's South West. A truly wonderful place, and as it turns out, bountiful source of ammo for my blog. I'll be rolling out some of the howlers over the next few days, but here's my favourite, snapped in Busselton Coles:

Perhaps the frame for the sign was just too narrow for the correct spelling of peaches! 'Oh no, let's take out the "e" instead of using a smaller font for the all important price!' Whatever the reason for it, this one made me laugh.

Black Soon

I originally envisaged this blog as a place to expose bad grammar, but I hate poor spelling just as much (if not more), so you can expect to see plenty of examples of that as well.

My friend Creedz sent me the above photo via the wonders of MMS. I see examples of appalling spelling ability all over the place, but spelling something so badly that it becomes another word entirely is a whole different level of stupidity. I'd like to give the writer the benefit of the doubt, but you'd think he/she would have noticed what he/she had done before sticking it on the wall, wouldn't you?

Seen on a jar of mayo

That's inappropriate use of inverted commas if ever I saw it!

Possibly the worst idea ever

Welcome to my somewhat misguided attempt at a blog. Hopefully at some point in the not too distant future, I'll start upating this thing with photos of appalling grammar abuse seen in and around Perth. I know it's been done before, but poor grammar is my pet peeve so I'm going to indulge it, even if only for my own sake.

The biggest problem with keeping a grammar blog is that if I make any mistakes, I'll really look like a prat. Let the fun and games begin.
