a desert crepe

-- Cafe Bonjour advertisement in Seattle Weekly on September 30, 2009

There's nothing quote like a precipitation-free area of land after dinner. But seriously, folks, do you think the crepe gets served bone dry with absolutely nothing on it? And is the beverage actually a mirage?

(Among the cowering populace, look for Mike White and an unbilled comedy A-lister, the latter in a welcome, extended cameo).

-- "Zombieland" in Seattle Weekly on September 30, 2009

(If the entire sentence is contained within the parentheses, then the period should go directly before the closing parenthesis.)

Access Prohibitied

-- Pike Street between 3rd & 4th Avenue in Seattle, WA, USA, Tuesday July 22 2008

Correction: Access Prohibited

There we were, walking peacefully down Pike Street, when *BAM* this error knocks the wind out of me. I naïvely thought that it was a one-off error, until I spotted the same sign at the entrances to many different alleys during the remainder of our Seattle getaway and saw that they all have the extra i. I am in awe at the carelessness involved. Prohibitied isn't even a word!

SORRY FOR ANY ANY INCONVINIENCE

-- Rite Aid Pharmacy at Pike Street & 4th Avenue in Seattle, WA, USA, Wednesday July 23 2008

Correction: SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE

When I took this picture it was solely for the spelling error. It wasn't until I added the picture to this post that I saw ANY ANY. That's too many anys!
