Ceramic penguins and anteaters, photography, recipes, web accessibility and usability, the natural world, rants about the misuse of English. What more do you want - excitement?

The small ads in our local freesheets are always a treasury of typos - I imagine a lot of them are read out over the phone or written on scraps of paper, then transcribed. There was a real jewel in last month's Marshwood Vale magazine: "Nikon Fez camera with F4 zoom lens".
(I have an FE myself, and happen to know there's an FE2, so it's an easy mistake to make, I guess.)
And it takes a photo, 'just like that'

We've recently had a glut of local gazette type publications such as Community Times and others which are franchises the general public can buy into and publish their own local magazine. The typo's and misspellings in them are beyond belief considering it costs a fortune to buy one of these franchises. You would think they would at least check their spellings and typo's. For us bloggers though, there is no excuse any more. Firefox's latest browser has an inbuilt spell checker that works whenever you type text into websites or blogs. Its brilliant.
