Spelling Spoofs, Grammar Goofs, and Other Oddities

One afternoon I was walking down the street and happened to glance at the fruit displayed in a small market. To my amazement, and amusement I saw one of the names of the delicious items misspelled. I kept looking and found another hilarious error. The thought came to my mind that a collection of Spelling Spoofs, Grammar Goofs, and Other Oddities would make a very funny, uplifting book. For approximately 3 years I wandered around the city, camera in hand, or in car, with the ever present hope, and desire to find more hilarious cameos to share with the world.

What I discovered was that no matter where I went, I found them. From multi-million dollar corporations to "mom and pop" operations, unusually funny errors of omission and commission abound.

At times, I felt like a spy, for it seemed that people did not like strangers taking pictures of their signs, or anything else, even if it was on the street, in public domain. They got very defensive! They chased me down the street, and into my car! I had to develop alibis for my picture taking. "Insurance" became the phrase that saved my scalp, and the rest of me!

In retrospect, it was worth the effort. I hope this collection gives you as many laughs as it still gives me. At least you won't have to run after you've seen them. ... Read more

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.
