Menu Mistake?

PickyPicky3 — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 13:21:48 GMT

Today's dinner specials at a small local restaurant:

If you order Chicken Franchise can you choose from KFC, Chick-Fil-A or Popeye's?

Probably an auto-correct issue! LOL!

@PickyPicky3 I'll have the mild Popeye's. I suppose the rice would be better suited to crunchy fried chicken instead of pasta.

Meanwhile, I like the menu for that restaurant. I would eat there often.

One of the things I know is that only if you have an eye for mistakes are you likely to see it. My guess is that those who came to eat realized what they'd be getting, so it wouldn't pay to reprint those menus.

When it comes to language errors I find in my own writing, I cringe when I've hit POST without rereading but autocorrect really irritates me, most likely because it's a new kid for me.

Menu mistakes are fun to catch and I've seen some hysterical ones.

Have a sense of humor, lighten up, and they always make me laugh!

Join the club, @millieshops! Fast fingers mistype too. I often have unintended symbols and punctuation. I see what I've done and imagine readers must think I'm an uneducated idiot, and I have to edit to fix my mistakes.

ETA - I just noticed I did it again! Sheesh! 🙄

@PickyPicky3 What is the restaurant. Would like to check it out.

We have a local restaurant that is a gem. Try and make sure they stay in business.

Very true. Same dish I think; just French versus Italian spelling?

So it's a just spelling mistake that 99.9% of diners wouldn't even notice.

may be but context is every thing, and not paying attention to the menu, where else are they careless
