My eyes! My eyes!!!

[FunAtParties]

A new cafe just opened close by. They’ve posted their menu on the local FB. I had to mention they have several spelling errors on the menu. They commented that they won’t be changing the menus anytime soon and are sure people will work out what they mean. They are actually planning to leave them like this…

Image under review.

oops
i wonder if they will provide avocado sandwiches!

I can't actually read any of that, but I know what you mean.
The newest restaurant in my village has a board outside which contains several spelling errors, so I'm unable to go in.
🤣

Maybe it's just me but when I enlarge it, it's too blurry to read.

They comment about not changing the menus is pretty pathetic though, it would actually make me not trust people like that regarding allergens & correct food storage. I'd be giving them a miss!!

take your marker pen

I guess at least they didn’t use ChatGPT - is that a relief in this day and age?

They have…

Avacado
Cesar Salad
Mozzerella
Siracha mayo

I think the worst one though, HAS to be…

Sandwhiches.

Oh, they have tomatos too! 🙈

A cafe near me shared their new menu online for proof-reading before they sent it to print, anyone who spotted a mistake and was the first person to point it out in the comments won a free coffee, brilliant idea to promote the new menu and make sure they didn’t waste money on printing with errors.

Don’t forget the pomegrante

I'd love to ava cado! Cafés are the very wurst! Lettuce pray for them. 😂

Sandwhats?

I’m shocked this is the first comment and no one has highlighted your lack of capital letters.

Not to mention the lack of a semicolon in your own sentence.

When they were making this, was there not autocorrect or an indication of the wrong spelling?! 😂 it never fails to surprise me that people must have to override things multiple times and somehow it doesn't register that they’re wrong.

I’ve seen Christmas Dinner with all the ‘trimings’ before and now we say trimings in our family instead.

Also local to me is a cafe selling things with ‘lanky cheese’ for Lancashire cheese. Not a spelling mistake, but still 🙈

A semicolon is not needed and doesn’t work in the sentence. A comma will work though, if you really want to add something.

It's enough to make you want to plunge your face into your bowl of soup, OP!

Oh.

🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

i am shocked the criticism is directed at me - not in the spirit imo

I’m surprised you’re shocked @HoraceCope - this is pedants’ corner! I don’t reply to threads here very often because whilst I identify as a pedant, I’m always worried I’ll make a mistake 😬 I think this is probably the only board where pointing out mistakes is reasonable and to be expected.

thank you @Waitingfordoggo
i thought the aim of the thread was to criticise the menu, not each other
i dont think i have posted here much!

we have the edit button at least

Yes, but the PP should have cited Muphry’s Law.

You’re shocked? Look at what area you’re currently in! It was actually said in jest.
