What's New
[29-Jul-2007] See, we told you there'd be another update this month.
- Image server memory: 5.8 seconds; Height: 256 tones; Tray Capacity: 128MB; etc. — found by 'ingsoc' at Worse Than Failure
- This one's just unbelievable. A rather...interesting set of specifications for a multifunction printer from Canon, still uncorrected on Canon's site as of July 29, 2007.
- Spell converstion / Spell utiltiy
- From the help file to version 8 of Corel WordPerfect. This one's just dripping with irony.
- Bush Seeks $87Bn in Anti-Terrot Gund
- From an Associated Press article posted on ABCNews.com in September of 2003. One must admit that it sounds surprisingly like a Bushism, even though it isn't.
- Still and Sparkilng
- This sign advertised the two varieties of water available from the dispenser in UGA's Snelling Dining Commons. It has since been replaced with one that's actually spelled correctly.
- Allston has long been seen as a future locust of science research — found by Alison Miller
- From the January 12, 2007 edition of The Harvard Crimson. Doesn't sound like much of a compliment to Allston when it's put that way...
- Edison Labratory, Menlo Park, NJ
- A caption from the online game that accompanied NBC's 2006 reality show "Treasure Hunters". Labratory... is that where lab rats are kept?
[01-Jul-2007] Finally, after over a year, an update... and a whole new look to go along with it.
- Macon Mitsubushi
- An actual ad for a Mitsubishi dealership that appeared in The Macon Telegraph. At least they spelled it right in their URL!
- ...there's no limit to what I can accompish.
- From one of Hiro Nakamura's subtitles in episode 12 of NBC's TV show Heroes. A minor typo, sure, but I notice these things.
- New York State Departmentportationion and Finance — found by ms_cucumber
- Now there's a department I've never heard of before. From the online version of The New York Times on September 19, 2006; interestingly, this error was not in the printed version.
- Steelers win; Ward named MPV
- If the Athens Banner-Herald was to be believed, Georgia's own Hines Ward became a minivan after the 2006 Super Bowl.
- Quality Website Desgin
- An actual banner ad spotted on Lockergnome.com back in 2006. Seriously, how did they miss this?
- ...whenvever one is available...
- The dialog box displayed in iTunes 7.2 when the iTunes Plus option is activated.
- 1 pound supermarket's refrigerator or freezer section, divided into 4-ounce pieces — found by spicysaurus
- That's going to make an awfully inedible pizza. From this Rachael Ray recipe on Yahoo, still uncorrected as of July 1, 2007.
- Athen's Best Student Living
- Not sure where precisely this Athen place is, but apparently its best student living is at River Walk. From a kiosk at the Tate Student Center at the University of Georgia.
- Resident Manger
- A sign for Family and Graduate Housing at the University of Georgia. I suppose a resident manger would be useful for the veterinary school that's just down the road...
- Most new catena...comepletely new to come into the market
- From the packaging for a toy truck. Once again, I ask: could the Chinese manufacturers not find a single English-speaking copy editor?
