What is wrong with this sign?
Miss Lashes took it recently, a genuine sign outside a café and sent it to me knowing it would make me want to hyperventilate. Having both worked in coffee shops there’s been many times we’ve wanted to scream ‘THERE’S NO X IN ESPRESSO’ But of course the world is full of mispronunciation designed to drive pedants like me completely mad. There are loads, I also go nuts at ‘pacific’ instead of specific and the ‘proof is in the pudding’ when the proof of the pudding is in the EATING.
What are yours? I love to hear from you.

*Prostrate* instead of Prostate
*Perscripton* instead of Prescription
You *can* instead of you may
Different *to* instead of Different from – (you *may* use this one if your wish)
I am sure there are many more but can’t think of them at the moment

Er, mispronunciation when you mean misspelling. ‘could of’ as in ‘I could of been a contender’.
