Not Washed or Cooked, # 117

Today brings a timely reminder about the importance of spellchecking and proofreading as well as enjoying a traditional batter-based fry-up. The first example is particularly reprehensible:

Link: The John Fisher School, ‘Shove Tuesday’

To be fair, there’s no evidence that this heading was personally inserted by the head teacher, but it is blatantly clear that no-one checked the text, and (over a year later) the error remains for the world to see.

I've been slightly naughty with the second example, since it is not, as it appears to be, a complete sentence, but its accidental aptness was irresistible:

Link: Irving Bible Church, Irving, Texas
Shove Tuesday
