I think we all see misspelled stuff in print everywhere, or misleading signs and whatnot. I received something in e-mail today and it made me raise an eyebrow and then laugh. If anyone else sees weirdly worded e-mails, or signs, or advertising, please share.

So I receive e-mail from Freecycle letting me know what's recently been posted in my area that people are looking for and giving away. The first listing in my e-mail today was for a someone looking for a Serger sewing machine. The opening line read:

Hi, I am a new mom trying to start up an organic cotton baby business.

If she could actually do that, I'd be willing to buy the machine for her. ;D

Speaking of typos, is that supposed to be "impractical" or "impracticicle"?
