Anyone else getting the Google ad at the bottom of the page for a certain driveway company offering "Patern Imprinting" (sic)?

We all make typos, but you;d think they'd check these ridiculously expenbsive ads before publishing them, wouldn't you? I know I have pednatic tendencies, but I could never employ someone who can't even spell what it is they do!

Was 'expenbsive' used ironically here?

On a serious note, I've had this all across the web. But the best was the local Perrys, who had a professionally made sign on the Bicester Road: 'You have just driven passed your local Ford dealership'.

That was outside for three months.

You'd have thought someone - the signwriter, the branch manager, someone would have noticed....
