Either on paper, stamps, or embellishments. I brought out some old Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type stickers, and noticed that huggable was spelled ‘hugable’ on one. I’ve had several stamp sets where believe was spelled 'beleive’, and colour and favourite are usually misspelled too.   Would you go ahead and use something that had a spelling error in it? |

I absolutely would not use product with a spelling error unless I was making fun of it.
I'd have to think about the most egregious error, because there have been quite a few in the scrappy universe. I used to have a little collection of errors I had photographed.
I remember a summery American Crafts collection using "sandles" instead of sandals, which annoyed me.
Recently, on a Halloween stamp set, there was a phrase "I'm just here for the booze", which yes, is the literal meaning, but everywhere else I'd seen it, it was presented as the pun "I'm just here for the boos", which is a bit more versatile.

It wasn't a spelling error, but an alphabet stamp I bought from Kelly Purkey a couple of years ago did not have "o", "w" or "5". I did get a refund but it pissed me off that they were not proactive about it or that they even offered it in the first place because I found a design team member's project that had to use zero for the "o"--the stamp set was in the project photo so someone knew about it at some point early on.
Studio Calico had a patterned paper with the alphabet on it and it started out with A B D C...it worked great for a page about a spelling bee!

lesley , colour and favourite and several others like neighbour are spelled on most scrappy supplies in the American way without the "u". I hate it when MS Word wants to correct me (like NOW  ) when I TYPE them the correct way for UK or Canada. I think the spelling mistake that bugs me the most is "your" instead of "you're", like "Your great!" I don't buy or use anything like that. If I catch it on a sticker sheet, I will use my scissors to cut it apart and add the ' and the "e".

Honor role, instead of honor roll twice, by different scrapbook companies  I can't make myself use either one. |

Years ago, I bought the Gilmore Girls stamp set from Kelly Purkey and the name of the Inn referenced in the show was misspelled. I was super annoyed and a replacement and a refund/discount was not offered. The options were to keep the stamp as-is with no discount/coupon offered or return the stamp for refund. Another batch of (corrected) stamps was not being made.
I loved KP's kits and products, but I bought very few things from her over the year because of that product issue.

Oh man, I've seen a few. There was a Christmas lyric spelled wrong or maybe the wrong word was used - angles instead of angels? on an Echo Park paper. It was all over the paper, a repeating pattern. Lots of people mess up 'Tis the season, usually it becomes T'is. Thankfully I haven't bought any stamps with major screwups.

I’ve had several stamp sets where believe was spelled 'beleive’, and colour and favourite are usually misspelled too.   Would you go ahead and use something that had a spelling error in it? Huggable and believe misspellings would bother me, but colour and favourite aren't misspelled as color and favorite. That is regional (US vs maybe everywhere else). . I would expect that words would be spelled according to the country designed and printed. Currently my computer won't even let me leave colour and favourite without being underlined in red. Saw this SNL skit a few months ago and it is just so spot on and makes me laugh. The missing "U" means FREEDOM. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqfVE-fykk |

In case anyone else didn’t notice my winking emoji after mentioning ‘colour’ and 'favourite', I was making a joke about how most manufacturers are American and therefore use the American spelling, which is wrong for me! And while I can just about use US spellings on a layout, I definitely couldn’t on cards, especially ones I’m selling. 😁

There was an AC Heidi Swapp one that had stamps for each of the days. Thursday was spelled Thrusday.
My favorite was one with a cake that said ‘time for desert’. Sahara or Mojave?

colour and favourite are usually misspelled too. Hahaha, yep, "colour", "favourite", and "mum" are almost always spelt/spelled incorrectly. I love it when a designer recognises (or should that be recognizes? ) that there is a whole scrapbooking community outside the US that would like the option of British/Australian/NZ spelling. Once in a blue moon I will buy a kit that has both "mom" and "mum" options. I don't mind using products that have "color" and "favorite", but I draw the line at "mom"! Once I even found a school themed kit that had embellishments with not only Grade, but also Year and Form, for the non-US scrappers. I was so excited! I have seen a few spelling errors on digital kits, usually by designers for whom English is not their first language. It's quite easy to fix digital kits though! I once bought a kit called "Fligh High". I was never sure whether it was a spelling error, or a cute way of matching the spelling of both words. But then later I saw that same kit had been renamed to "Fly High", so it must have been an error. And then one of the elements in the kit had "Spread Your Wings and Fly Hig" on it. |

I think it was MME who put out a Christmas line which included the month named Decemember.

I taught The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for 25 years and every single dang year my students would get their noses in a snit over the spelling of a few British spellings. Had to explain that Clive Staples Lewis was born in Ireland and published his books from England. I do love how the SNL skit makes fun of so many US oddities of well, everything. |

Lucy was his god daughter.
BUT there was an error on one of the SBTM cards (November 2022) that really bugged me. It was a 3x4 card that said Letting November Have It's Moment. No - it should be its. I sent a message to customer service and they sent me a corrected digital card.

Santa “Clause” instead of Claus. Ali Edwards has done that multiple times.
Many, many stamps from Kelly Purkey have had errors.
Simple Stories School Life kit has a die cut that says
School Is
Amazing!
Meh.
Just Fine
Overated
I contacted about the “overated” and asked for a correction or even a digital file. They never responded to me. It also bothers me that the first two options end In punctuation, but the last two don’t. (Is that past tense for overeating?) 😂

Not a spelling error, but....
I was just sorting through a small package of vellum stickers I bought from Amazon awhile back. It was labeled "100 pieces| Old Time". So far, so good. Then I came across a sticker with a drawing of a package of a box of safety matches. The brand - in big bold capital letters - C*CK. Yikes. There was a picture of a peacock, so..... still not using that sticker. LOL.

I've been sorting and packing my scrapbook supplies and I just found some PL type cards with "anchors away" on them instead of "anchors aweigh".
I wouldn't call it the most egregious error though.

Found a new one last night on some Pink Fresh Christmas stickers: It's a little poem with 3 ampersands in it, and instead of &, they printed a $. It makes it look like some misprint off ali express! I can use a pen to alter the $, but most likely wouldn't use the sticker/poem anyways.

I can't make myself use either one.
