When I worked for the mortgage service company, I received a letter that I just couldn’t understand. It started out about there property & went on with so many homonyms it was ridiculous. Finally someone came into my office & I asked them to listen while I read the letter to see if they could figure it out. When I read it out loud I finally realized what they were saying when I substituted the correct word. I don’t think spell check would have helped as they were all proper words.
I found myself working fast food for a few years. We got a new manager who liked to post long “ALL EMPLOYEE” notices. Her grammar was atrocious! Within a day, her notice would be all marked up and corrected for her. She did not know who did it, but among her employees was an engineering type with an MS degree and two pre-med students. She knew it was one of us three.

menu writer must’ve been a terrible speller back in grade school (as well as middle and high school… maybe even college)

I’m fairly sure that in English grammar the letter i isn’t a word. Also hadto isn’t a word and inyour isn’t a word.

Ziggy probably thinks all those prices must be typos. (I’m saving enough to retire on now that I’m eating at home all the time.)

There are 37 prices where the decimal point should be moved one or two places to the left.

I’m amazed at the number of “professional” signs that contain grammatical errors.
