One leaflet, 50 spelling errors!
A council in Britain printed leaflets that had over 50 spelling mistakes. It even got its own name wrong 20 times, said a report.
The leaflets were reprinted at a cost of 1,000 pounds and nine errors still crept in, Daily Express reported on Friday.
The mistakes appeared on a tourism map put out by Kirklees Council, West Yorkshire.
Kirklees became Kirtles, Kirkburton appeared as Kirkpatrick, Holmfirth was Holsworth and Cleckheaton was shown as Czechisation.
There's more.
British Waterways turned into Brutalisation and people were told to email enquiries.manic-depressive@brutalisation’s.co.uk. Tourists could take a ride on the Transpontine Express, instead of Transpennine.
Officials blamed their printer’s computer spell-check software.
However, Conservative councillor Martyn Bolt said: "Someone somewhere must have had final authority. They are not up to the job.”
