I was walking through the park the other day when I spotted a printed sign (obviously produced on a pc) in a council van saying "caution loose pathing". I had to read it several times as I could not believe my eyes. Has everyone lost the ability to spell?

I thought most people had lost the ability to pronounce 'th' in words these days ( vese days), so I see this transgression as hopeful .

And loose was used correctly. For once.

might not have been a speller as such, might have been a furriner using a word incorrectly - i.e. they meant path-ing, not paving.

We have lots of restaurant/takeaway places near us, with sandwichboard advertising - one of them described their menu as "full of choise" - and then so did another one! Presumably copying from the first one in a spirit of competition

I seen a great one today at a fast food place, it said - Munchie Box with Donor Kebab Meat, Chips, Pakoras and Crispy Onion rings.

I did wonder what kebab meat was made of......
