We don't need no stinkin' proofreaders.

I've seen [read: ignored] this ad for a while, and I only just now noticed a great typo in it. If you miss it mid-ad - it's printed pretty large, though - wait for it also as the very last word at the lower left of the screen at the end of the ad:

They're infallibly delicious.

Reminds me of the punctuation error I've been seeing from a local taxi company for maybe twenty years.

They have bumper stickers announcing "DRIVER'S WANTED"

(Driver's what wanted?)

Driver IS wanted--in 3 states.

Reese's has apparently taken some grief in the press over this (and on Facebook, like that matters). Perhaps the powers in Rome have approved the use of that spelling as a Reese's trademark.

Even now on this issue we see no corporate repentance, so maybe one could say it has changed from a mortification into an indulgence.

Corporate repentance from those weasels?
You'll be running 'round the mulberry bush

Maybe they think the only people who would be bothered by it are snobes. (How many of y'all remember that episode?)

I bet some money has changed hands... Uh, oh. Meet your new Eucharist wafer, folks!
"... and he broke it, saying, 'Thou hast gotten peanut butter in my chocolate!'"

Easter candy will make a lot more sense, now.

Ha. Good one.

Well, guilty as charged. Language may be constantly in flux, but that doesn't mean I'm required to withhold comment, much less cheer along blind change for its own sake.

Mind you, there's no question I don't concern myself with typos around here unless they're my own; this is a social setting, and being understood is of the first importance. But big media? Different case altogether. In their ubiquity they may potentially be seen as authoritative and so, by extension, absolutely constitute an educational arm. They are beholden. If they don't like my snobery, they can take their complaint to the Holey Sea and ask for an audience with the Popp.

Pringles are next on the pontifical bandwagon: Once you pope, you can't stope!

I've also long wondered about the Catholical significance of this stuff:

Well, it was meant to convey something about the joy of sects.
