slow load of no load // its no // its now

In fact, the traffic became too much for the servers to handle at times between 2pm and 4pm. If you tried to hit the [New York] Times homepage you found a slow load of no load at all.
...
If [Eliot] Spitzer formerly resigns at 3AM, well past the deadline for the Times final print edition, it will still be the lead story online. Its no longer all the news that’s fit to print — its now all the news that’s fit to post.

I'd go with a slow load or no load at all. And it's it's, wrong twice in one sentence.

women's, mens & kids'

50% off all women's, mens, & kids' reg. priced pants
-- Sears ad in The Vancouver Courier, Friday March 7th 2008

Why would the advertisement writer correctly use an apostrophe in women's but then incorrectly omit the apostrophe in mens?

faciilites

I laughed at the thought of your poll question--simply because I think it's obvious we need to have better mental health faciilites here in the Lower Mainland. As a person who deals with mental illness, it seems to me that not using buildings for the very purpose they were built is insane. Perhaps opening up Riverview, and keeping it open is the key to success in dealing with those who are mentally ill. Consistency, after all is what we need for a healthy life.
-- Crazy poll question about mental health in The Vancouver Courier, Friday March 7th 2008

We have a wandering i in the facilities. Sometimes two letters in a word get acceptably transposed, but this is absurd. In the final sentence, I'd like to see a comma after all.

it was it was

Then there's [Sam] Sullivan's taxpayer-funded spokesman David Hurford. He was present when [Peter] Ladner announced he was seeking the mayoral nomination. Somehow Hurford felt it was it was directly related to city business for him to attack Ladner by alleging that he planned to run as an independent if he failed to win the NPA nomination. "I think it shows he's not a team player, quite frankly," Hurford said.

"Jimmy, did you eat all the cookies in the jar?" "No, it was Susie." "I don't believe you." "It was, it was!!"

nutrionist

Marge hires a nutrionist to put Homer on a diet. It doesn't take.

Hayden Christiansen

-- TV schedule on NBC.com, Friday March 7th 2008

That would be actor Hayden Christensen. But at least they correctly spelled Will Ferrell's name.

our student's needs

-- Nightingale brochure, March 2008

Multiple teachers, resource teachers, and support staff for just one student's needs? More likely, based on the subsequent sentence and good ol' common sense, the apostrophe is supposed to be after the s, for plurality's sake.

Our "Proud to be a HAWK Program has helped

-- Nightingale brochure, March 2008

Once again, Nightingale can't seem to finish what they start when it comes to quotation marks.

One of Vancouvers Top Realtors

-- Notepad received in mail

Let's play pin the apostrophe into the slogan. Paul, you missed the board completely! We were looking for Vancouver's. Yes, Vancouver's. The error is at the top of every single page. I can't get away from it. Help!

who better... then

Having finished in a less-than-stellar place in the Courier's first annual "Peter Ballard Classic" beard-off, Seven Days Ahead is in a particularly cranky mood. And who better to take this out on then rebel-with-a-marketing plan Avril Lavigne?
-- Real Complicated in The Vancouver Courier, Wednesday March 5th 2008

In then, replace the e with an a and then it's correct, rather than wrong.

try and pass along

Mar 4 ... [Mike] Ribeiro's status for Wednesday won't likely be known until after the morning skate, but we'll try and pass along an update on Wednesday.
-- News and Notes on Yahoo! Sports, Tuesday March 4th 2008

My educated guess is that they mistakenly guaranteed an update, and meant to write, we'll try to pass along...

Will Farrell

-- The Georgia Straight front cover on February 28, 2008

The article inside had actor Will Ferrell's name spelled correctly throughout.

Which begs the question:

Which begs the question: just how loudly does a protest movement have to scream to get the attention of government?

Marie Phillips' novel

Marie Phillips' novel Gods Behaving Badly imagines the gods living among us.
-- Author with a God complex in The Vancouver Courier, Friday February 29th 2008

From a photo caption that is directly next to a paragraph* that opens with this: Same goes for the Greek gods in Marie Phillips's debut novel, Gods Behaving Badly. (* In the online version, the photo caption is directly below said paragraph.) I guess if you know there's supposed to be an apostrophe, but are unsure if there should be an s after the apostrophe, then by doing one each way, you're guaranteed to be correct once - and wrong once.
