I don't recommend copying recommened

At the bottom of the Barnet Marine Park page on the City of Burnaby website, there are some issues. On the left, recommended is missing its first D. In the centre, I don't know why the reader is told to check themselves out. Even if it's a compliment, it doesn't pertain to a map of the park. There should be an it between check and out. On the right, it's as if the only way to get there is from the west. What about the people who would access Barnet Highway from the east? Are those people not welcome at the park?

I have twice the ability of most

I'll answer your question with a question: Are you able to type a question that actually makes sense? From the "additional questions" page of a City of Burnaby job application on April 18, 2011.

An exciting? Yes. An fun? No.

The word fun doesn't start with a vowel or a vowel sound. Perhaps it was originally an exciting night but exciting got changed to fun and no one noticed the resulting error. This is from a Chapters Metrotown flyer in April 2011.

Emergency boning services

This is from my friend, Jason:
I was searching for heating system maintenance and maybe an estimate on replacing the old furnace - but this? This is too much! (The comedy was in the ad itself at www.bccareheating.com - only the highlight is mine.)
The offending webpage for BC Care Heating Services Ltd. is here, and as of 6 p.m. on March 29, 2011, the error is there. Click the image to enlarge it.

Thanks, Jason!

January 31th

There's a bit of a problem in this Xcitement advertisement (seen in The Georgia Straight on December 24, 2009). Actually, the problem is seen twice. It should be January 31st, not January 31th. This isn't the first error of its kind.

to become fan of this theatre; Metro Town

-- SilverCity Metropolis home page, Sunday September 14 2008

After trying to wrap my head around the whole idea of becoming an official fan of a movie theatre (I failed), can a theatre have just one fan? "I'm king of the world!" "I'm fan of this theatre!" ... to become a fan... would be correct. Also, the mall is officially known in written form as Metrotown. If you're going to leave the Theatre License # and Class blank, what's the point of having it there at all?

STATIONARY

-- NW corner of Cameron Street & North Road in Burnaby, BC, Canada, Monday July 7 2008

Correction: STATIONERY

If the store remains stationary then it won't be somewhere else when you want to buy some stationery.

Loose Weight!

-- Brentwood Town Centre in Burnaby, BC, Canada, on April 25, 2008
After you lose weight, your clothes will be loose. At least one other identical sign is located elsewhere in the mall.
