    Used to be a chippy in Penge that advertised Fish, Chips and Burger's.
    I knew of a place in Thailand called 'Just Pizza'. There was a sign on the window saying 'now selling burgers'.

    Not a spelling mistake but an iPhone auto-correct

    Following a text row with the missus, it turned my ARE YOU OK? text into ARE YOU ON ?

    That was helpful....

    Not a spelling mistake but getting words mixed up.
    Many years back I was given a very small one line speaking part in a school play, with disastrous consequences.
    You must remember I was a somewhat nervous twelve year old at the time.

    ”I have come to snatch a kiss and fill your soul with hope.”

    I blurted out.
     
    “I have come to kiss your snatch and fill your hole with soap.”




     
    I had a girlfriend who acted, her best mistake was, instead of “Blackfriars Bridge in a fog“, “Blackfriars fridge in a bog“.

    no, but the thread title not having a question mark is really getting to me.

    Due to being on the Autistic spectrum I actually genuinely do find bad grammar and punctuation to be truly upsetting. 

    I know that it's on me to deal with it and mistakes are going to happen but I do get inordinately annoyed on occasion.

    People saying that they 'brought' something when they actually bought it

    Not a misspelling but my favourite website address was when Powergen set up their website for Italy - www.powergenitalia.com.
    don't forget the pen/pencil stationery shop whose website was penisland.com and the website listing agents for actors which was whorepresents.com 
    If I recall correctly, it was the tourist information site for Pen Island, not a stationary shop

    Not a spelling mistake, but I remember a kebab store in Lewisham where they had a poster for onion rings in the window. There was a white circle in the middle of the poster to write the price and it already had the word ‘Only’ printed, so it would say ‘Only £1’ or whatever the price was.
    Instead the owner has written how many onion rings you got - ‘Only 4’.

    It was quite possibly me who told it.😀
    Anyway…..I have 7 LOL’s, so that’s 7 people who I gave a bit of a laugh to, I’m happy with that and it’s a nice way to brighten up my day a little bit.
    Incidentally, does the fact the joke is 50 years old make it any less funny……I think not, some jokes are timeless.😖

    I think you’re misinterpreting his comment. He’s not having a go at you, he’s bemoaning how old he is.
