A photo of the AOL Welcome screen. Spell Check doesn't catch those "Spelling Errors," Theme #297, that disguise themselves as other words.

    That is a daily does that would be really hard to swallow. Great spotting, I'm still looking, it's no fun being in a literate area.

    Good catch, that one. There was an internet story that went around a few years ago which seemed to proved that the order of the letters within a word is unimportant as long as the letters are all there. I'll try to include a Snopes.com link here, but not sure if blogger will accept it:

    Good catch! I had to read over the text a couple of times to find the error! My Cognitive Psychology professor in college had us read a study on how the brain doesn't process all the letters in words. We just need the basics!

    I read ads on movie screens, billboards, store signs, and especially newspapers. I subscribe to our local rag because it gives me so much fun!

    Incidentally, I stopped taking the baby aspirin because it was making my blood so thin it letting me bruise in places you wouldn't normally find bruises. Fish oil, too.

    Great take on this theme. I have a hard time with spelling and sometimes spell check drives me nuts.

    That's kind of a "large" error that should have been caught. You have great eyes!!
