Apostrophe catastrophe, # 116

Via Tim Matter, an apostrophe catastrophe on the menu of The Countryman in Staverton. As the second screenshot shows, the pub’s website also has mangled apostrophes, while an adjacent date suggests that review/update schedules are being ignored:

Multimangle, # 44

This much-mangled and puzzlingly retro webpage comes via Mo Juste, who comments: ‘I found a website about Abington Park, probably Northampton’s “jewel”, and thought how awful it looked. So I clicked on the web designer’s link. I leave the rest to you’ — quite a lot of ‘rest’, too!

Not Washed or Cooked, # 155

Kieron Hayes has contributed this cracking mangle. It comes from the website of a website-design company that proves better at self-aggrandizement than at care in presentation:

You can read a full appreciation of 5D Marketing’s website, and see several more mangles from it, on Kieron’s blog, Webwrite: Doing the Write Thing. (If it’s your kind of thing — and, since you’ve already demonstrated an interest in the mangling of English by arriving on this page, it might well be — you can also follow Webwrite on Facebook.)
