As so eloquently put by David Marsh in The Guardian, thank heavens for downloads…

Unless referring to a trunk of sketches, I think this charity shop actually means ‘chest of drawers’.
Drawing attention
Marley’s Mellow Mood – so laid-back it’s confusing its singular and plural. Yup, the relaxation generation HAS definitely arrived.
Relaxed grammar
Clinique’s at it again! The company’s either trying to be authentic by keeping the spelling mistakes in the ‘real-life’ reviews, or it’s too bloody mean to pay for a proofreader. Either way it should be ‘its’ rather than it’s.
Skin deep
This mummy’s not happy about ‘mummys’.
Mother of all mistakes
This shop might sell notepads, or may simply be advertising the fact that it has ground to a halt. Remember, grammar fans: if paper goods are concerned, then E is for envelope, ie stationEry. If something’s not moving, then A is for anchored, ie stationAry.
Going nowhere
From the ‘reversing backwards’ school of tautology – Tesco isn’t just killing germs. It’s killing them dead.
Grammar overkill
From the rogue apostrophe in ‘mascara’s’ to the missing hyphen in high impact and the weird monetary decimal places (seriously, who bothers with a clumsy .00 these days?), Clinique, part of the multi-million-pound cosmetics giant Estée Lauder, scrimps on the grammatical make-up of its ad campaign.
Sharp eyed
The 99p shops proves its budget credentials with this rather magnificent sign, clearly inspired by the brilliant Hyperbole and a Half.
Alot wrong
Unfortunate naming or agricultural humour at its best – labelling among the animal pens at Frome Cheese Show.
