Anybody know what an avish life is? Strange headline on News.com.au today - The avish life of file-sharing kingpin Kim Dotcom
And their slogan is "Technology - Switched On". I'd say that the spellchecker was switched off. It's not some East Ender speak, innit?

What's The Koreans' Excuse - They've Had The Olympics?
I've received a few emails lately asking me "Is China ready for the Olympics?" even though some are Japanese signs and others are Korean. My missus picked up a copy of Perth Journal, a new publication for Koreans in Perth, and it is littered with typos. Literally every second advertisement has an error. They need a proofreader, that for sure.
So what is the Koreans' excuse? They've already had the Olympics.
The Perth Journal's disclaimer says that the information was correct at press time. Don't ask me where the mistakes entered the picture.
Arirang - I think it's situated at No. 93. But that should be Barrack St (nice restaurant).
Seoul Buffet - What day of the week is Tuse? Maybe it is the day you would tuse to go?
Sinabro - For those of you on a see food (and eat it) diet, enjoy your meet and chacoral BBQ. Be warned as it is colsed on Monday.
Tile Friends Co. - I wanna get me some of the latest follr tiles.
Meijin Garage - For all your boody parts.
Midori - Books essencial.
Ninniku Jip - They're in form for lunch. (Great restaurant!)
Seizan - Funtions are held down staire.

Spelling - Make Up Your Mind, People
I'm a bit of a pedant when it comes to spelling. Let it be known. And I prefer the British English dictionary. If you are writing "ax" then you only have two-thirds of the item. Australia uses the Pommie spelling. So it really bugs me to see a shop having an each-way bet. Are signwriters in this country half-wits or do they not question the customer?
CENTRE or CENTER - make up your mind, people.
I think these guys have used a little too much poetic licence. The Language Police should be paying them a visit. How do we expect the youth of today to formulate a consistent technique of spelling? Or am I reading too much into this?
