100 Embarrassing Typos That Will Irritate Any Grammar Nazi To The Core

24 min read

No matter how hard the human race thrives to achieve perfection, mistakes are an inevitable part of being human. History is lesser the proof of our accomplishments and more of the severe errors human beings have made throughout their existence. For instance, back in 1788, the Austrian army "mistakenly" attacked its own soldier and the result claimed 10,000 lives of their own army.

Well, we can still understand the fact that we all learn from our past. However, we are not going to take you to the old ages when our present generation is doing their part of mistakes. We are no grammar nazis but some mistakes are so silly that we too were on the verge of slamming our heads on the wall.

Think Before You Enter

This is a typo which goes unnoticed by several people. But once your eyes catch, E-n-r-t-y, you too would desperately want to ask the people in there about their knowledge of spellings. Well, it can be a sign that they don't want anyone to "enter" in the first place. If this is the case then the need for proofreaders is everywhere.

What A Commitment!

School is the place where you are introduced to spellings and grammar. But Colton High School's commitment is incomparable. They are "commited" to high standards but not correct spellings. Alright, mistakes can still be accepted on legal documents but in a school's slogan? If it's not the only typo this high school makes then may the force be with the students who have enrolled themselves here.

Bye Bye Used Cars

Now we are confused, whether this company "buys" used cars or whether they bid Goodbye to them. Overconfidence might be the reason behind this for sure. Also, their poster is kind of funny, unlike the Colton high school's. Let's just hope this is a publicity stunt to grab the customers' attention and that they know the difference between bye and buy!

Oh, The Irony

We have just one thing to say to Mayor Chester Stranczek: "If you get signages written in English which is about English, then at least get it to proofread for Christ's sake!" Maybe the Mayor is not to be blamed for it but the creator of this signboard who must have tried to cover up his mistake as one of the "excePtions."

Missippi, The US State

The irony hit right on the face of this newspaper editor. No wonder every newspaper has a section for corrections about the previous day's news every day. Keeping the general mistakes aside, we cannot resist saying this anymore: it's MISSISSIPPI bro! There are some major mistakes we all do that cannot be forgiven and on top of all those mistakes, lies this; Missippi.

SOTP

When entry can be written as “ENRTY” then why can't stop be written as “SOTP.” No big deal, right? Just ignore the fact that these letters are written in at least three times bigger size than that of "entry". Well, people just need to stop being so brutal towards the English language. I mean what has English ever done to anyone but make their lives easier?

You’re And Your

Jeez, high schools are not be blamed when Universities are involved in making such irritating mistakes. Did none of the people from the editing department ever watch Ross shouting in Friends: "and by the way, Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E means You Are Y-O-U-R means Your". What has become of today's education and the editors? We doubt if the latter even exists in Nebraska Wesleyan University.

Life As A Toad

We think this is a warning from whosoever turned a prince into a frog. We didn't know till this moment that fairytale characters are present in real life too! Does anyone even have the authority to turn a human into a toad? We would suggest you stay as far as you can from this place for we can only imagine what sorcery takes place inside. All jokes aside, maybe its too hard to differentiate toad from "T-O-W-E-D".

Honest Advertisement

This is not the only blunder that McDonald's have done over the period of time. In fact, it's just the beginning of the list of their devastating signages. This is the most honest job description we've ever had. The chosen one will go for this sh*t.

You’ve Been Severed

Poor McDonald’s, cannot help but repeat its mistake. We know Mcdonalds as one of the biggest food MNCs on the planet and they are proud of it but their signage errors are a big time shame. Why don't they try doing what they are best at, ie, "serving" people and not telling us the numbers?

Their staff's errors have started to give us S-E-V-E-R-E headaches. 

Burger King

When McDonald makes countless mistakes then Burger King has the right to make one, correct? Ohhh, we would have run to the place where Spongebob works but we are well aware of the sad reality. We can't really say what they wanted to say or were they just trying to look cool. To us, they look more like a fool now!

God Did Make A Mistake

If someone would have said that Misteaks is a new dish on the menu, we still might have believed them. But this is the signage of a Baptist Church that is practically not supposed to serve any sort of steaks, right? Maybe its a different sort of church or maybe they misspelled the word M-I-S-T-A-K-E-S.

Illegal Parking Will Be Fine

Well, nowhere else on this planet will a signboard like this exist which openly permits the people to park on someone else's property. Someone should teach the person who created this, a good lesson by parking in the place and waiting for it. Why not tell the person that it is just F-I-N-E and that you won't be "fined" for it.

Public Schools

Schools are all set to take it to the next level. We can still forgive the Colton High School and their "commited" staff but not the newsletter staff of Suthbendon.com. We want to say a lot, sadly, we are running out of words for these people. We just pity people of South Bend area who read their newsletter.

Crosswalk Gone Wrong

Did the school assign this job to the kids in the school? Or did someone take revenge? Because anyway it's hard to believe that a sane person can actually do a mistake like this one. We have no clue how long it took before this typo was corrected. You never know, there are high chances that no one ever notices it, not at least the people who are supposed to correct it. Almighty Bless Them All!

Bored Room

Another sample of honesty depicted by another company. Apparently, it's not a room for the Executive "Board". We must applaud the amazing HRs for this act of greatness. Now that the truth has been unleashed, it is easier for everyone to understand what Executive B-O-R-E-D Room is all about.

Newspaper Fail

We just can't get over the fact that newspapers can make such typos. Especially, when they were the biggest source of current information just a couple of decades back. Yes, one might not catch it if reading fluently. But "Sixers tie it up again as series H-I-T-S to Boston" or sh*ts to Boston, we too are confused.

Falling Asleep On The Keyboard

We are not sure if this falls under the category of a typo or not. Well, let's think from the writer's side who wrote this while he was doing overtime and dozed off on the keyboard. Being writers we have empathy for him/her but we can't really say much about the proofreader. 

Some More Irony

The Sun should take time to regret the error in the title as well. Newspapers still try to correct themselves in the correction section. Ironically, they sometimes misspell the word C-O-R-R-E-C-T-I-O-N itself. Irony just died a sad death.

Cash Prize

It will be a pleasure to get your vehicle towed and you receive a reward of $50 for it. Wouldn't it be the best violation of parking rules ever? Some times we think there should be more fools like this one. You don't have to seek entertainment on TV or Laptops as life will be funny in that case.

Book Fail

Never judge a book by its cover but certainly judge it by the P-R-E-F-A-C-E. What will be happening inside the book if even the spelling of preface is incorrect? Okay, a mistake can still be neglected but not this one. At least not when it reads Pee-Face. It sounds more like a profanity than just a mistake.

Warmed In Owen

We would really love to have a cookie that's baked in microwave not warmed in the "Owen." We don't know where to start from but keeping the first things first, Microwave and Ovens are two different appliances, guess all the readers know it very well. Also, we feel sorry for all the Owen families around the globe who were unaware of the techniques of warming cookies inside themselves.

You Mean Frozen Foods?

We know of frozen food but maybe there's a new type of food in the market that is prepared by floating on the water. Alright, let's not talk nonsense here when there's already more than enough nonsense going on in these pictures. Anyway, we would really like to know if this new type of "Flozen" food is healthy or adds up in the list of just another junk food?

How Morbid

This seems like an intentional message by a Game Of Thrones' fan who got over excited about the show and spread his message through the source of a message. This happens when people get overexcited about Game Of Thrones more than required. The message says that along with winter, deaths are also coming. Now that the show is almost about to be over, it looks like a valid point. 

Tattoo Fail

Everything can be undone on less cost but removing a permanent tattoo might cost more than the original price of getting a tattoo. Yet people will never learn to be cautious. This is a perfect tattoo only if the heart was spelled as H-A-E-R-T

Tattoo Fail 2

It'll get better or "It's get better" dude, what exactly did you want to convey by this tattoo? Yes, we've just raised a question on your behalf. Even a nursery student will say it right but the tattoo artist wouldn't write it right. Now, we are having second thoughts on what if the tattoo artist took some sort of revenge from the poor person who got this tattoo? Never trust them, they can be truly evil on the inside.

Medical Typo

This is definitely a typo and the proof of how the slightest of errors can result in devastating realities. We are not at all going to criticize this typist whose only fault is that he/she forgot to press enter after "Unable to eat". We want to believe that Unable to eat and Diarrhea are two separate things.

Nihilist Typo

How often do you actually read the closing program pop-up? After this, you are undoubtedly going to take another look at it this time. Well, we'll make it easy for you as are laptops used the word "exit" not "exist". Looking at this image from a different perspective will make you think about how deep this question is.

More Special Beef

We can't say anything about McDonald’s. After looking at their frequent mistakes, we can't say if they reappear on our list. Kindly, don't blame us for it. Their errors cannot be neglected. In the name of their tasty burgers, we would like them to stop for a minute and rethink as well as relook at their terrible signages.

Poopsicle

When newspapers, signages, and tattoos all can go wrong then how can TV captions stay behind? This TV news caption's error was rectified within moments of its first appearance. But once a picture is clicked it remains in the minds of people for a long time.

Doctor Recommended

Give it 5 seconds and you'll get the C-R-A-P they were talking about. People love to read about health issues and their cures. But these steps suggest that the person who is feeling cold should crap themselves in a blanket. Good going with the suggestions specialists!

Oh! Their Dreams

This is one of the oddest of all the signs. Two signboards on the TV screen, both showing a different spelling of the word "dream". Did they go to a school that's committed to errors? There's no escape from the fact that this is the result when not only spelling but also the schooling went wrong. 

Rapefruit

Maybe this is a creative person who thought making G in the form of the fruit itself will be a great idea. Its a bigtime fail from the designer's end that looks like a typo. Honestly, why would anyone waste their advertisement like that? "Rapefruit," seriously?

Beep

Beep is a new form of cow meat. Let's just be clear here, the first time is a mistake, four times is a habit! You never know how many dishes on this menu are actually ending with beep. Whoever made this menu actually thinks cow meat is known as beep.

That’s A Lot Of Bowels

Before we make any comments on anything, we would like to clarify an important thing. The bowel is the term used for the intestine or the deepest parts of something and a bowl is as a type of utensil. That's all.

Some More Irony

Okay, let's be honest here, this is a simple mistake that can happen by anyone. And the student to whom these instructions are given is the one who actually made a big scene out of it. Yes, mistakes can happen by anyone and teachers are no exception to it.

Smoking Is Actually Quite Silent

Nobody ever told us that smoking makes a lot of noise. See, they want to say that if you want to smoke, then you should quietly. Or maybe they want to say "No Smoking Allowed" which is again wrong. If no smoking is allowed then does is conclude that smoking is allowed. It's very confusing. 

Free Wife

Free Wi-Fi was still a thing free wife is just a dream come true. Also, how can we ignore the cooked water on the top of the list? After seeing all these errors, we actually feel there's a scarcity of proofreaders across the globe. 

Before Existing

Well, existing is not easy and we know it. Why is everyone throwing that on our faces? It's weird how confidently people responsible for the right spellings don't even feel like correcting them. This board is hanging at the same place from quite a while now.

Five For Two Dognuts

By the time we are done with this list, our own knowledge of words and their correct spelling will start to fail us. After all, it seems hard to speak one sentence correctly now. Dunkin Doughnuts are favorite sweet store for most of the people. And knowing how much cops love doughnuts and dogs, spelling a doughnut wrong can send these people behind the bars. "Dognut"...huh.

English Can I Teach You?

For goodness sake! Never even get close to the people who are behind this advertisement. Even their presence could be destructive for your Grammar. We will never forget this man's face and all the suffering that he brought to us. Only one advice for him: "you should advertise to get English classes not to teach English."

Is There A Theme Here?

Now, they must be kidding us! Or are these two different brands? With every other picture, we are realizing the new heights that people and their grammar can touch. While Orange and Apple bottles are "orignal" Guava is "original". Why is the poor Guava left alone with correct spelling?

Lifetime Regret

Shmelvin McSnotbrain got a “No Regerts” tattoo he had planned on getting for years. After remaining sober for 1 year when he finally realized about the wrong tattoo, it was one mental state none would choose to stay in. Anyway, a few years of savings might help him to get this rectified.

Maybe It’s Sarcasm

Bagel shops generally have a glass that prevents customers from picking it up without planning on purchasing it. Yes, many people do that but putting up a poster like this is quite a daring step.

Beware

Some serious stuff is happening around here. Who exorcises dogs? Even if you have never heard of it before, you are not allowed to conduct a dog exorcism here. According to the movies, it might cost the dog's life but they won't get you arrested but will only charge you with a hefty fine!

Keep It Simple

A useful lesson can be learned from this error. As long as you know your words are to be published in a book or magazine or even a yearbook that you aren't sure of will be proofread or not, try to do it in the "kiss style" ie keep it short and simple

Wait, What?

Flash might never help us to keep the toilets clean. Why didn't they notice it should be flush? Some times it is just so challenging to understand if the person is joking or being a fool, isn't it?

Greatest Typo Award

Well, we didn't know that people can be so creepy. All we want to know is whether they mean it or is it a typo. Don't worry people if it is not obvious then we'll try to cover it up on their behalf by explaining that they meant: "Shoplifters will be prosecuted."

Amrix

Isn't it necessary to be alive to swallow pills? Or have any of you heard of a dead person swallowing pills? Even if someone is about to die, why would he/she take medicine? That too three hours before "ded"?

Before The iPhone

Celery phones were in trend way before iPhones. Also, these celery phones were nowhere close to the smartphones that we use nowadays. Anyway, nobody keeps one these days. So, according to this notice, you can take your smartphone with you but not an obsolete model of phone.

For Real Tea Drinkers

People who are in a habit of drinking tea find their day incomplete without a cup of perfect tea. However, some people might prefer to starve over drinking "sweat" tea. We are happy without sugar as that will taste just like life; dull.

Before Living

Tadaaa! Till now the errors questioned our existence but now this company's staff is questioning our living. Never knew the only thing we need to do before "living is washing our hands! Let's just "leave" it.

Really Mind This Step

We can't make fun of this one as neglecting board signs like this can prove to be dangerous while reading it might kill you anyway. "Mined the step" is a warning to "Mind the step". No there's no freshly dug mine on the staircase,

Romantic Moment

Scented candles can work as relaxing agents. Suppose after a long day at work, while taking water bath you get to light the "Pukin" flavored candles. Don't DO it!  As it is more like a Puke-In than Pumpkin.

Traveling?

Forgetting the charger when traveling long distance is a mistake we all have done. Even if you forget someone or the other might lend you a “SAMSNUG” charger.No seriously, somebody needs to tell us whether it is a duplicate charger or is it an error on Samsung's part.

Christmas Joke?

All the girls out there, say yes to "Marry me?" not "Merry Me" This is giving more Christmas vibes than that of wedding bells. In this case, I would just like to pretend that someone did it on purpose for his/her partner must be obsessed with Christmas.

“Call Security!”

Things people do to save their job. When anyone gets their office uniform the first thing they would do is to check if the size fits and if the fabric is comfortable and the print is long lasting. Certainly, anyone will notice the mistake they've made in bold letters but will choose to stay silent for the sake of their jobs.

The Big Story

Did he? Really? Is using Rugs that big of an issue? Okay, we won't stretch this one and be very specific, the news channel was trying to say drugs, not rugs. This the proof that TV audience watches everything very attentively and immediately captures the picture.

Maybe No One Will Notice

Just like the person who misprinted security as “Secutiry” on the shirt, this painter must have also assumed that no one will notice the error he just made. Perhaps he didn't know that there are people with a keen eye for errors like these. Even if it is on the road that they're walking, they'll sense that there is something grammatically wrong in their environment.

Hypocrisy

This sticker starts as: “SPEAK ENGLISH OR GET THE F***K OUT” and then maybe (just maybe) in order to put more emphasis on the word “but” they did it. Aren't they aware of what the word butt means? 

Hire A Professional

Hire a Professional

Yes, it is less of notice and more of a warning. It's all about hiring professionals and more. We would like to make it clear that we don't have any part in this notice. (just to keep ourselves out of this category)

Getting It Right

This is just so wow! We can still understand Christmas cards but wedding cards too? Especially the spelling of the word sweet. What is the matter with people? And it's not one person's mistake but two. And they are soon going to tie the knot. Just a tip to the newlyweds: Do it quickly and stay in your little world for God's sake. 

Not This School

A school paid more than anyone else to get an advertisement for their brand on the front page of the newspaper. To bring more and more students. However, no intelligent parents will send their kids to a school where the staff doesn't even know the difference between opportunities and "opportunity's"

Do It Yourself

To everyone out there: "in today's modern world, there exists an application named Grammarly, use it!" Please use it! This is what happens when people just can't resist correcting others' mistakes.

Twilight Zone

We've heard of the friend zone, but "shcool" zone? What does that even stand for? Ohh ohhh! They meant SCHOOL! You know, we are so confused now that we can hardly differentiate between *write* and wrong.

How?

Would you yourself like to stay fit or will your mailbox be your first priority? Before that, do you even know about your mailbox's gender? Well, is the mail a he or a she? The world wants an answer now!

Every Detail

Talking of "detal", oops we meant detail. This is so annoying when an agency who makes revenue on the basis of how much customers order their cards can do a mistake like this. 

Poser

Fans can be incredibly funny and we are talking on the basis of examples like this one. No, Bon Jovi didn't start this. He sang a song named “it's my life,” never did we hear him singing: “it’s is my life”. 

Two Easy

This error is conducted with so much perfection that even we took 5 seconds to understand what they were trying to say. After all, the sign shows school kids but that's not what they wanted to say.Two easy or too easy? Every school student can tell. But they won't correct what's on the display but answer that school is not at all easy. 

Teachers Pet

Yet again the words of Ross starts to scream inside our heads. This will be the first teacher who even after getting a card from the students will feel ashamed.  “You’re the best teacher ever” and things would have been different between the teacher and the student.

Say What Now?

Alright, so should we break the dining table into small pieces and chew it off? Will that is the right thing to do? Will this procedure heal anyone?  We give up now! Trees are more important than our own lives and we won't support this anymore. We'll just say that it should be food and not wood.

Lemon Poopy

If you love desserts then you must have tried many sorts of cakes till now. But we can bet you have missed on the tastiest of the dishes! Seriously, we wonder if anyone would have eaten it after reading its name. Maybe checking the ingredients will be a wise choice.

Giggle

Can you? Are you that lonely? Don't know about you we are never going to follow these instructions. We'd rather chose to stay out of this door. The right use of words mean a lot and if they would have mentioned wiggle instead of "giggle," it would have been just so perfect.

Don’t Mess With The “Villains”

So far you must have gotten used to reading school authorities' faults. Okay, so this school's student and teachers are only crazy for basketball. Guess spelling doesn't matter much. Is it "villains" or "villians?" Did someone warn them against using the same spellings twice? 

No Way

We aren't sure what's stocked inside these boxes but one thing is certain: it's not a human error but a computer error. After all, Chinese people are known worldwide for their hard work.

Customers Only

They are Customers, not Costumers. Where is all this coming from? Does it take so much effort to re-read? Or will you like to try a beautiful costume on before entering the washroom? Let's just follow all the rules or not go there at all. 

Closed

This restaurant is closed but that didn't disappoint their customers as much as their signboard saying: they “apologise" for any incontinence caused, did. Will these people ever apologize to their customers for making them read this sign?

Dangerous Stairs

Just keep aside the fact that we won't prefer to open this scary looking door unless that's our only option left. All we need to look for is "hade". Where is that supposed to be? Maybe on the head. Be it head or hade we are not going in a place as creepy as this one. Not willingly at least.

Christmas Mistakes

This is what happens when a Christmas card is printed with a typo. Jingle bells, Jingle bells change to Jungle bells Jungle bells. And maybe someday Jungle book will change to Jingle book! Well, you never know what next a typo will do.

Stay Strong

This young lady wanted to console people. Sadly, it became a lesson for herself. Every tattoo artist should undergo a spelling test before inking (ruining) anyone's body. We have just one last thing for this woman: "Stay strong no matter wath happens."

Ooops

This sign is not even required as the people will go slow if there's accidental porn going on. Seems like they are in luck. And no, we don't have the GPS location for this place. So, kindly don't ask us about that.

Firefighters Deal With More Than Fire...

Lmao... so spray water on the crowd didn't help maybe. Or maybe it helped to turn more people on! We are not kidding here but maybe the editor at the NewsChannel was serving his/her notice period. No other employee would conduct such a major mistake while in their senses.

Socks Are Different In Spain

 So that's what they call socks in Spain. Or most likely its a typo where the "s" of socks was misplaced by "c". Anyway, we are not sure if your feet will be more comfortable in it or something else.

Welcome To Our Restaurant

All we want to know is what are they even serving inside this place. A combo of Ape and Tit, what would that look like? If they don't serve what they've mentioned, it will be a huge disappointment.

Spelling Matters

Using rape instead of 'wrap' can become the cause of a hazardous situation. In the virtual world, people are ever ready to pull anyone's leg. And this became an open invitation for all of them, as a result, this post went viral overnight!

Pointless

When a person called the restaurant to inform them about the grammatical error on their signage, they assigned the same person to correct it who did it wrong in the first place. And the result is in front of you.

The Ant Savior Is Re-Born

Trying to spread a strong message went wrong when the "i" from the "anti" went missing! Hence, Obama became not only the first Afro-American president but also the first Ant savior in the history of the world.

Pork And Beans Maybe

So, this happened when a newspaper did a small typo. Pork became porn. Sadly, people who love food more than anything felt sad about it.

Really Tasty

It must be so tasty but we'll pass the offer as we do not support irresponsible people making careless mistakes. And we would suggest you should not support them either.

I Just Wanted Some Coca-Cola

Did people ever ask for that? Or they simply ordered Coca Cola? Informing the customers is a good thing but mistakes like this can get the people behind the counter in some serious trouble only if their managers care for correct English as much as us.

H&M

H&M is a popular clothing MNC and still, they never hire a proofreader. The brand let "genius" Thomas Edison down by spelling the genius as "Genious." Maybe they just want to confuse people, who knows.

Mitt Romney

Now we've started to assume that we still live in the era when there were no set of rules and structure for the spellings and word formation. I'm not with Mitt on this for I can't stand America written as "Amercia."

'Firsthand' Or 'First Hand'?

Just a little space is all that it takes to make sentences right. How did these students get their first hand and a job at the same time? This must have offended a lot of readers for sure.

Just Brian’s Evolving

So, Brian is the only human who is evolving.  The actual topic is so interesting but one typo ruined it all for us. Obviously now we are more interested in seeing who this Brian is.

New Diva In Town

We didn't know Scuba divers are actually "DIVAS". The scuba maintenance team must have to handle quite a lot of tantrums if that's the case.

Men At Work

OMG! Such a heavy erection that these men must be risking their lives for the construction. Well, all they need to do is to save themselves.

Yeah... I Think I'll Pass

This is the exact job that anyone would choose for the days they feel like it. Working with McDonald's directly makes you, well, you know what we are talking about.

Can't Imagine

See, here's a point: We can't imagine, more than we can imagine because that's beyond our imagination! Simple enough to understand? Sadly, some copywriters will never get it.

Lush

Lush needs to apologize to the website visitors for more than one thing.  The 404 error is the first reason and "cant'" is another. Say sorry, NOW!

No Horses... Oh Wait

Firstly, whores will always have many open doors that they would never end up in a place like that. And secondly, we love horses. So, let's not get into that!
