I enjoy finding errors like this. I have made errors like this. I never seem to catch them until my work/post is submitted and then it's too late.

 

My mind tends to make the correction as I'm reading so it looks right. I imagine that's what happened with the error here and in other publications/street signs/etc.

 

Still funny, though.

With the email's title of "Sunday Brunch" maybe they had too many Bloody Mary's or Mimosas while composing the photo's description...hiccup! :p

I looked at that several times this morning and did not see the spelling mistake! haha My eyes saw what it should be and not what it is.

Even with the misspelling it got me to go to their website because the itineraries are ones we're considering for next year. ;)

Maybe the author has a lisp.

Or is a Star Wars fan...

I see what you did there.

Glad I wasn't the only one! I looked at it for a bit trying to find the error. The eye sees what the eye wants to see! So long as I'm in good company! :p

One of my favorites was the jewelry they sell in the atrium. It was advertised in the Patter:

 

"Inch of God Sale"

[easyboy]

Was only a joke...like their series title of "Sunday Brunch".

Look at all the interest it generated -- the purpose of advertising.

 

I thought it was a reference to May the 4th...

[PescadoAmarillo]

That's...pretty blatant.

Isn't that the truth! DH says I should have been a proofreader; my eye just naturally finds these things...in others' work (like the Princess Patter. Who needs mind puzzles on a sea day when one has the Patter to proofread?). But I cannot catch my own mistakes for anything. My eyes see the words but my mind interprets them as what I meant to write.

Things of this sort are why I cringe whenever I read the local newspaper. Proofreading has gone the way of the Dodo.

We always play a little game on every cruise we take. We read through the daily planners (patters) that are left in the room each night to look for typos. I would say 90% of the time there is at least one but in most cases there are several. Hard to avoid on those since you have so many people responsible for putting them together very quickly and English may or may not be everyone's 1st language. Just part of the fun on a cruise.

I am going to guess a Star Wars fan..... :-)

LOL! Princess is never going to win awards for proofreading, and don't get me started on the Patter! :D
