I’ve previously been called an “orthographic Nazi” (by somebody who couldn’t spell those words without a dictionary) and it’s a label I wear with pride. So I’m out at the pub with some mates last night and I found myself studying the chalkboard menu and writing down all of the words that were spelled wrong.
Here’s a list of errors on the menu at The Retreat Hotel in Brunswick:
* parmigana
* snitzel
* mediteraean
* tomato’s
* potato’s
* bolagnaise
* Mecury
* Hieniken
* jus
(I know the last one is a correct word in French but it has absolutely no place on a pub menu.)
