This link sent to me. It is right up my alley because after almost 10 years as a paid proofreader, I find spelling errors everywhere I go. Even at my church on Sunday, the words on the screen said "presense" instead of "presence". Everyone else was just singing along and I was mentally correcting the spelling!
I should note that it does NOT prevent me from making spelling errors of my own, but it does help me to always spot them when I do.

Re: Misspelled Signs
I personally loved the sarcasm of whomever wrote the commentary to this.
I'm quite embarrassed, though, because I didn't notice all of the mistakes at first!
Can't beat that with a stick..."Burgers" is the plural of "burger." Am I to assume then that "burgerss" is the plural of "burgers?"
O wait... yea, this one is definitely better!Cigarettes are small cigars. Ergo cigarrettes must be small cigarrs.
This last one is my favorite by far!The sign on the establishment indicates "CERMIC TILE." But on their van it reads "CERMAIC TILE." I'm confoozed.

there's a recessive "ll" gene somewhere in our DNA.
