Friday Flubs: Netflix and Other Sites That Should Know Better

Every Friday’s post is a collection of typos or grammatical errors I’ve spotted throughout the week. Sometimes they are things I find while out and about and sometimes they are things I find on the Internet. If you are anything like me, these typos drive you crazy, especially when they come from people who should know better.

This week’s Friday Flubs are all from Internet sites:

Oh, Netflix. You know movies, but you can’t write. This typo in the listings of “The Office” episodes has been driving me crazy for quite a while now. (I watch a lot of “The Office!”)

 

It appears the editors of this newspaper can’t spell this city’s name right even when it’s right in front of them.

 

This clip is from a major technology blog. I think they meant “offer” instead of “off.”

 

Small typos happen to everyone. But, when these typos are in copy that speaks for your business, the fewer mistakes the better. Have you seen a typo that has been driving you crazy?  Feel free to link to it or tell us about it in the comments!
