Oh come on, it's only four letters...
Don't fall off Matt. He will be annoyed.
A perfect example of why commas should be used
Spot the typo

Erm....
Sounds delicious!

Massive research fail right here.... LMFAO's hits are so big that we got not one but both song titles wrong! For the record, the titles are Party Rock Anthem and Sexy and I Know It, consecutively.
As you can read, there are a couple more errors here also...
Triple sex? Yes please! Okay, this was taken in a country where English isn't the first language but hey, it's still funny, right?
Apostrophe fails
Now let's take a look at a nice array of apostrophe fails
More plurals which don't need apostrophes...
I sincerely hope this one is meant to be a joke...
These two are unique ones...
Reading this will blow your mind!
Remember Bare vs Bear? This comic illustrates (pardon the pun) this perfectly!
Quotation mark fails
We spoke about quotation mark misuse earlier. Here are some more examples:
I'm not sure where Hungry Jack's were going with this multi-fail sign. They only have one employee working for them and they've gone with the random quotation marks option.

Oops. Someone's used the wrong tense. Smoke alarms save lives, not saves. I used to drive past this sign on my way to a friend's place. I posted about it on social media and the next week, the sign was changed!!

Close to what?

Who says typos are limited to English?
I think they mean 'tongs'

Here's another regularly seen typo. When you say it out loud, it sometimes sounds like strickly, but it's not... It's 'strictly'.
Whoever wrote the latest slogan on our licence plates would certainly benefit from reading my previous section on semi colons. It looks like there's a small space between 'alert' and 'stay' but I don't see why a semi colon would be so detrimental.
It's a bit embarrassing when your giant billboard outside your business has a giant typo in it. (Taken from Google Street View)

Again, we're not saying 'it is wildlife' because that doesn't make sense. Taken at the Twelve Apostles site, along the Great Ocean Road.
Recap: It's and Its |
Google says: Did you mean: mosaic
Yes, yes I think we did Similar to the spread sheets example above

Quite a few points up for grabs here! I can spot at least four typos.
It looks like someone needs a recap on You're and Your

This is an interesting one to say the least... This is the inside booklet of a CD I bought. Multi-selling album across the world, yet they couldn't afford a proofreader! A lot of commas missing and they also need to recap on a part vs apart. The yellow underlining is where they started one train of thought, forgot about it and then went on about something else entirely! Don't worry; this will only be seen by everyone who buys the album!
