Maybe it’s just me, but I foam at the mouth and get a facial tick every time I see a sign lovingly crafted by some business, which has a glaring spelling or grammatical error. I mean, I get fairly frustrated when I see bad kerning, horrific typography or just plain and simple ‘wrong’ design, but I guess I can live with that.

So, as part of my own therapy, and for the amusement of others, I’ve started a little blog called wrongwrite.com. As the photograph above shows, I believe we need to start correcting signage or at least photographing it for prosperity sake, and let the offending business know what they’ve done.

I know no-one is perfect, let alone myself, and I am sure I have let the odd spelling error survive on this blog, however this isn’t a sign, which you’d assume is checked by a few people before getting created and erected.

I’m keen to get contributions from others – please send them in (JPG, 470 pixels wide with a description of where the sign is, and what the issue is).
