After featuring that lovely cushion with that interesting I’TS, how could I not smile when I saw a report about soft toy alphabet blocks with worrying misspellings? [See this article in the Guardian.] I especially like the YATCH – even more worryingly, when I tried searching the BBC News website for an article about this, using that spelling, the search brought up a few ‘real’ instances of it…

At least Morrisons are withdrawing all the blocks now (after some pushing) and offering refunds. I wonder if I can get someone to buy that cushion for me, and then take it back with a complaint about the error?

(Hey, I wonder if I can get the price of dishes in restaurants refunded by complaining about the typos on their menus? My latest favourites being pavalova and banoffe.)
