Anybody seen this ad this morning?

A prize for anybody who spots the type-o*

*Might not actually be a prize

I'm tempted to give the estate agents a call and see exactly what the package entails lol

Rob_l

Thats a nice package they give with the house

Dord

Sizzler

I'd scan it if I could.....I just rang them...the girl at the other end of the phone was in fits of laughter when I asked if it meant I got a free Xmas dinner She said I was the fourth person to call this morning about it PMSL!!!

Dord

Of course its a typo, its should say sheep.

Actually it could be a clever marketing ploiy, how many people who dont get the Herald AM now know about the ad!

I originally saw it as 'Turkey' (cap letter typo) as many new housing developments are offering big incentives to buyers... like cars, and holidays (package holiday in Turkey...).

Niamho!

Hahahaha. i wonder has that person still got their job.

Ah.. it happens... earlier this year I misspelled the word 'history' on about 10,000 adverts on Dublin Bus.

True, but then kinda a gamble really as there's no guarantee anyone would notice.... unless....!:eek:
Sizzler works for the Herald AM!:p

And some of the posters around town for "Hot Fuzz" the film spelled violence wrong so it does happen.

Well it was one word buried in between about 20 other random words, so you probably wouldn't spot it at a glance. I noticed it straight away though the first time I saw it on a bus.

I had it spelled 'histroy'

turkey package, suppose you can't really complain as it's not false advertising

Jesus Wept

finding Herald typos is like shooting dead fish in a barrel, with a very easy to use gun.

There was a piece of research done a few years ago that proved that you only need the first and last letters of each word to understand the message in the sentence, proof readers nightmare.:D
