M&S spelling

[LaLoose]

Two mistakes in the one product label? Does anyone know if this would be a fault from the central office or just from the branch?

Shouldn’t it be broccoli and not brocolli?

Yes, that was one of my three points.

My brother has dyslexia and as a teen, wrote out his own CV. He walked all around town handing them into shops trying to get his first job.

Bless his minor typo. Under hobbies, he'd included '5 years of private hose riding lessons' 😆

Love that!

@LaLoosereally! I knew Waitrose couldn’t be letting me down

Tickets are generated by Head Office.

Yes, probably. The phrase could be 'Gastropub dine-in noun' with the noun omitted. For example 'dine-in offer', 'dine-in product combination' or something. Or is 'dine-in' itself being used as a noun derived from the compound adjective (don't know the word for this, but similar sort of thing to a gerund)? Thus: what sort of meal is this? It's a dine-in.

Pois is both singular and plural, it’s the adjective that’s incorrect

They taste better in French, obviously! 😂

Yes, I do know Pois is plural too, there should be an s on the end of "Petit", otherwise the packet contains only one little pea.

This is pretty shocking for M&S, I must say.
Or, could they be jumping on the intensely irritating trend that fashion stylists use, when referring to a ‘trouser’ or ‘a lip.’ (Forgive me; no idea where the apostrophe should go on those terms so I’ve given you one of each!)

Ugh can you contact them?

I think PP means that ‘petit pois’ literally translates as ‘little peas’ (not ‘little pea’) but it should be ‘littles peas’ as it should be the adjective that is plural for the French to be correct.

I knew a fella who worked for them. He was a fun guy.

But do they know the difference between macarons and macaroons? Tesco certainly didn’t used to.

@BlueEyedBogWitch

All I can say is that when I get texts from M&S to say my parcel is ready to collect they manage to incorrectly spell the shop location. If they can't even get that right I don't expect much from them

I think PP means that ‘petit pois’ literally translates as ‘little peas’ (not ‘little pea’) it translates as 'little pea'.

I’m going to put my hand up and admit I can only see two mistakes: broccoli and petits pois.

Can someone please put me out of my misery?

It should also be petits pois, not petit pois

Ah, didn't realise pois was singular, thanks.

It's easy to check - I use the online translator.
Some French nouns are the same for the singular and plural. Cassis is one. 'A new blackcurrant' would be une nouvelle cassis, 'new blackcurrants' would be nouvelles cassis.

(The online translator doesn't handle lesser-used languages that well.)

That's shit...
