Tip of the Day

Put a couple of fitted sheets on your baby's mattress at once. If the top one is messed in the night, you can just wip the top one off without having to start making the bed from scratch. (HEB7)

Yes - I spotted that one.

Tamum · 09/01/2008 18:54

I am obviously being dense. I can't see the problem with that?

TrinityRhinosDhWonHerAnIPOD · 09/01/2008 18:55

is it 'baby's'

FriedGreenTomatoes · 09/01/2008 18:55

wip should be whip Tamum

SheikYerbouti · 09/01/2008 18:56

I do loved to be wipped

TrinityRhinosDhWonHerAnIPOD · 09/01/2008 18:56

oh I jus thought that was a typo of the poster
surely MN knows how to spell whip

JackieNo · 09/01/2008 18:57

I'm sure MN does know, and it's just the poster's typo.

SheikYerbouti · 09/01/2008 19:00

Well as an editor, they should have put (sic) after the typo

But to be fair, I cannae bleat about typos as I type like walrus on acid

Tamum · 09/01/2008 19:01

Oh duh, sorry- I was thinking that maybe it was meant to be wipe, then realised it wasn't, and got distracted. Honest.

kiskidee · 09/01/2008 19:02

they may know how to spell 'whip' but what could be the reason for leaving it misspelt on the homepage?

I have seen some appalling typos and grammar on national advertisements before

They don't happen on my watch

I like it because of...

"Put a couple of fitted sheets on your baby's mattress at once."

As in, we should all obediently march upstairs, and add another fitted sheet without further ado.

Giggle.
