As mistakes go, maybe this one isn’t quite as funny as last month’s “No Rest for the Machine” (see our December issue) but it’s still pretty good! The idea of a machine that gives you money (yes, it’s “gives” not “give”: that’s the first mistake) is interesting, but what this machine actually gives is “change” (not “money”: that’s the second mistake). What the sign should say is “change given.” Our thanks to Matteo Battistello for spotting this gem.
If you see English mistakes (in Italy, the UK, anywhere!) that make you
scream “Aarrgghh!!!” take a photo (please make sure it’s in focus!) and
send it to redazione@speakupmagazine.it
We will publish the best (that is, the worst) both here and on our Facebook page.
