I went back and forth about whether I should post this. I try to be respectful, and sometimes pointing out the mistakes of others is certainly not respectful. This one is almost so egregious that I would expect to see it in one of those email forwards or something.
In my bulletin at church this morning:
“There is a fact sheet about the H1N1 Flu on the information desk, put out by our perish nurse, if you are interested please take one.”
Wow. Yeah, I got a good laugh out of that one, Talking about an infectious disease, and suddenly the church has a perish nurse. I know that parish and perish sound the same, but they mean very different things. Spell check won’t catch this mistake, but it must be caught.
There’s not a separate nurse for hopeless cases?!!!
Oh come on perish nurse is so fatalistic and dramatic. What’s a little romance.
I’m glad you decided to post that as it totally made me LOL.
That certainly was my “LOL of the day”! That’s a nurse I would scared of!
Too funny! This is when spell check does you no good.
We’ll not even mention the comma abuse!
Yes, I could say other things about the sentence, but I refrained.
Too funny! Thanks for sharing! Perish nurse…
Someone’s repressed fears of dying from the swine flu are coming through loud and clear! LOL!
