I'm sure that we have all sniggered at spelling mistakes in the past, but I saw one today that was particularly poignant (especially for Lopster).
An ironing board advertised in Woolies as an "ironing bored".
Made me laugh!!!

My daughter's spelling is hilarious. One notable example was to replace the "a" with a "u" in the word "can't"............try reading that with a straight face on parents evening !!!!!!!!!

Excellent examples - thanks!
Another one I spotted recently in the window of Fillers sandwich shop was "Terkey"!
I do wish teachers would stop teaching children to spell phonetically, or maybe I don't as I enjoy the end result!!!

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
