Can anybody at Celebrity spell? Or proofread? Or use spellcheck even?

Wasn’t me, but what have you Americans got to say about Aluminum, when quite clearly it’s Aluminium!!

The accompanying picture is the Harbour Bridge in Sydney, Australia.

Better double check that.

?  That's where Sydney is, on Cape Breton Island.  Did I miss something?

No.  The bridge in the picture is Seal Bridge in Sydney Nova Scotia.

The Sydney Opera House is visible on the left.

I'll take your word on the flags and even though I've never been to Sydney, Australia I'm pretty sure that's the Opera House in the background.  What I am sure about is the bridge shown in the Celebrity advertisement is definitely not in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia... Sydney or Seal Island.

This is not just a Celebrity problem, you see it everywhere, even in newspapers.

You have to wonder how did some even graduate grammar school.

And all this reminds me of this story...

ETA: And I just found another story from this past February of someone booking a flight to Sydney Montana instead of Australia...

At least Sidney, British Columbia is spelled differently and it would be tough to accidently end up there.

It would be easier to read this if you had capitalized the first letter of each sentence.

That kind of stuff makes me loose my mind.

 

Their, their! We all can't handle the wait of the whirled on our shoulders when it comes to spelling and grammar.

I get what you’re all saying, but I will admit sometimes while typing I can’t for the life of me remember how to spell some words, and if what I type is an actual word that spellcheck doesn’t catch, well, I’ll set your hair on fire with my post. 

 

I'd rather you set my hare on fire, then we can at least have a nice dinner, perhaps with a mustard sauce and carrots?

Obviously a specialty cruise for those that like that sort of thing.

As long as they don't charter it and take up all the public spaces, who cares? 😇

And here’s the latest geographic head-scratcher

That excursion from Warnemunde to Berlin is going to be a tough one to squeeze in!

[Chanbre]

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
It's rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
It's letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

I see national TV shows with horrid spelling and grammatical errors.  It's amazing.  When I see those errors, it makes me question the content!
