Copy Edit the World Part 1

The following pictures all have grammatical errors that are incorrect!

My case of soon to be burned c.d.'s. The periods in red should be the correct way of making this label.
I found an old movie ticket for AMC Theaters and the title of the movie should be Take the Lead instead of Take the Lea.
This business card advertisement in a glass case at San Francisco is completely missing the abreviation of world wide web so it should be http://www.bernardportrait.com/.
This poster goes to together and it the bottom of the poster should read Will Thomas Hearst Award not Awardb.



I was singing "Reunited" on karaoke and I came across the misspelled word, reminise instead of reminisce.



I was driving on Capitol Expressway last week and it bothered me to see that gas was reaching $32 a gallon but when i realized that the period was place in the wrong section.



This poster was found on our very own journalism building. The am and pm's are missing the periods and it should be a.m. and p.m.
I was walking on Market Street, shopping in San Francisco and I realized that this is technically wrong because the star replaces an apostrophe mark for the Macy's sign.
I got a couple of DVD's from the Philippines and this one sentence just doesn't make sense. I don't even know to correctly place it in a sentence. " All movies is according to the chapter choice broadcast. In addition, the beginning of each word should not be capitalized unless it is the beginning of the sentence.

Last but not least, my favorite sign which was taken over the summer. It was on Highway 101 north going towards San Francisco. Someone had a really fun time playing with this sign. Its suppose to read Starbucks and not STARFUCKS. This was so hilarious but it didn't last for a week due to the many complaints!

What a treasure trove of errors!

Actually, CDs is OK as is, and it's acceptable to put a shortened url on a business card or ad, but the rest are good.

The Starbucks one is an especially good find, though technically it probably shouldn't count since it's graffiti, not a typo.
