I've noticed that bloggers generally use this medium as an outlet for their pet grouse. Here's one of mine. Spelling errors. Especially in restaurant menus.
Come on man, you set up a decent enough restaurant. You invest in decor, people, a selection of dishes. You give your menu to a dtp guy to be designed and printed. Then why can't you take that extra half hour to proofread and spell-check your menu? Is that too much to ask for?
On the other hand, it makes for some amusing reading while waiting for the food to arrive. And how many of us actually didn't order something we wanted to eat at a restaurant just because it was spelt wrong in the menu? So to keep things in perspective, it may not matter to you or them, but it's one of my pet grouses. But please proofread before you print a menu, please.
