Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Just looking at restaurants for tonight (last minute booking - I'll be lucky!) and one restaurant has the following:

Now booking for MOTHER'S DAY - mums get a free guft!

Anyone seen any funny misspellings lately?

A grammar point but why does Mother's Day always have a singular possessive surely it should be Mothers' Day

Not sure it does always have singular possessive. I've seen all versions lately.

London

I used to collect restaurant menus from my travels round northern India back in the day, some intersting English

One that always makes me chuckle, the printers in Corby near the Hampton roundabout who advertise printed leaflet's (sic)

The best misspelling in the history of this site I reckon.
