Misspelled Signs - Page 8


Construction site at 70-13 45th Avenue, Woodside, NY

I have always believed that one should have a good fundation in spelling skills. One other thing that struck me about this sign is the fact that the phone number in case of an emergency has been partially removed - possibly maliciously - or was not placed on the sign in its entirety. Very suspicious.

Value Furniture, 89-17 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY

This is the second example of "dinning" room furniture which I've encountered. (See here) Again, this allows me to price-shop. This sign contains a grammar error, as well: "YOURS ONE STOP FURNITURE CORP."

Valerie's Men & Women's Wear, 80-17 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY

What happened to the second e in "perfumes"? Here's another thing: This business is called Valerie's Men & Women's Wear, not Valerie's Men's & Women's Wear. Is that to imply that it sells two types of things, women's wear and men?

Mary's Fashion Boutique, 79-10 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY

Fine cloting - as opposed to, say, fine clotting?

Price-Rite Furniture Inc., 74-24 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, NY

O.K. Since this is the third time that "dinning" room furniture has been found for sale, it has achieved the status of the common "accesories" - that is, I will not document another example of it unless it appears with another spelling mistake.

Superior Deli, 68-47 Fresh Pond Road, Ridgewood, NY

What do you know? I've found yet another way to misspell "cigarettes." Keep 'em comin', guys!

S.G.S. Pharm. Inc., 47-57 43rd Street, Queens, NY

Well, we've seen this one before, haven't we?

Kooby Auto Service Inc., 32-36B Greenpoint Avenue, Queens, NY

A vehicle might have two axles, but a double-axel is a figure skating term.

Morgan Truck & Auto Repair Inc., 312 Morgan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

"Hey, buddy! Can you fix my brakes?" "Sorry, pal. No can do. That's the breaks."

Tony's Pizza, 355 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

Sorry to be such a stickler about spelling, but the word should read "NEAPOLITAN."
