The Copy Monkey Copywriting Hall of Shame

                                                                                 

oooops...you appear to have slipped up

After our last post we thought it might be nice to share our world with you. The things we see and the things that upset or confound us. This, we have decided, we will call our ‘Hall of Shame’.

What do you reckon? Are we right to put this in the copywriting Hall of Shame? Or is it right that the slipway is a dependant of the tide? Or is it dependent on the tide?

Either way, it’s a good start. We’re such godawful pedants that we notice stuff like this. And with our shiny iphones making it easy to capture these moments of brilliance, no one is safe.

In our office, things like this are discussed more readily than what was on TV last night or what we had for lunch (although it’s close). And we want more! Has your grocer made a gaffe recently? Does your local signwriter suffer from word blindness? Is the world better for decent grammar? Let us know.

Send your shots to hello@copymonkey.biz and we’ll chuck them up here.
