Spotted at Chester Castle today - you'd think the county council would employ a signwriter who can spell masonry, but it seems standards are falling faster than the stonework is...

Aunty guilty of bad practise (sic)

Another shocking typo from the BBC, and in a headline no less:

Dentist guilty of dirty practise

Don't they know that practice is spelled with a c when it's a noun?

EDIT: It's been changed - are the BBC subs watching this blog, I wonder?

I recently found the Chuckle Brothers' CV on the internet. It claims they were 'literally raised in a suitcase'.
