…I mean, they are editable.

Colleen found this in the Deerfield Valley Vermont Blueberry Festival calendar of events.  Thanks, Colleen!

Dave found this in the hard copy of the http://www.usglobalengagement.org/global-plum-book/ .

I guess it’s good enough for government work?

Galen found all three of these at the same place, just north of Ellsworth, ME.  She even provided the commentary.

Live onions?  Or will there be something else alive on my plate?  I didn’t order it. Also a missing apostrophe where there should be one!

When in doubt, use a comma.

I think this belongs in a new category. Maybe “Not quite the lyrics” would be a good title?  Anyway, I have no idea why there were lyrics on the menu, but I’m pretty sure they left out some words.

…Y’all don’t really need me at all, do you?

Colleen spotted this atop a group photo distributed to new students on orientation day.  At an undisclosed location, to protect the innocent.

As Galen pointed out to me, this author could have gone with “hoarse” and blamed spell-check.  But “hourse” is… well, a hourse of a different color.

I mean, this was totally going up on RPB just because of the sheer absurdity of insisting that a bench is not a seat (rather than insisting that it is a decorative, delicate, fragile, or forbidden seat).  The typo is just gravy.

Galen doesn’t pull her punches when she asks, “Is it clod?”

I’m so tempted to travel to Ripton, VT to ask them that in person!

I rag on people for not using spell-check, you know?  But in this case, you almost would have done better not to use it.

Yeah, that says “incontinence.”  Thanks, Q!

I’m not sure exactly what a “wingett” is — or if, as Reporter #1 wonders, it should more properly be spelled “wingette.”  But whatever it is and however it’s spelled, I’m STILL POSITIVE it shouldn’t be pluralized with an apostrophe.

Kacia found this one in Italy, so we can forgive some of the lyrical mistranslation.  But she’s absolutely right to be “concerned about their use of native inhabitants of Campania in the food!”

Mmmm, inhabitants!
