Spellcheck Spellcheck, Wherefore art thou Spellcheck?
For want of an "A,"
the t-shirt was lost.
To be or not to be. That is normally the question. But in this case the letter 'a' appears to have caused all the problems.
Clothing giant Topshop failed to spot that William Shakespeare's name was spelt incorrectly on a £20 T-shirt it was marketing.
The women's fashion item went on sale online and at stores across the UK printed with the misspelling 'Shakespere'.
Oops.
Closer to home, a Hoboken man thought he had the perfect plan to overcome his town's notorious lack of available parking spaces. Printing his own parking permit. There was only one minor flaw though, he misspelled "parking."
An alert meter maid noticed the counterfeit "Parkting Permit" and called police. They towed the car, and arrested the budding paperhanger when he showed up at the impound lot.
Spellcheck. Turn it on, you won't be sorry.
