A tricky one to spell alright. Maybe the Google spell checker is censored in China too?
A picture tells a thousand words. In this case, many of them misspelled. This wonderful toy aimed at developing early childhood literacy was recalled from Morisons, the UK supermarket chain, due to a rather obvious defect. Two defects actually. This toy also teaches us that U is for something called an Umberlla. We think they’re getting at the thing you hold over your head and blows inside out when the wind blows.
For me, there are a couple of lessons:
- If you are in the business of manufacturing toys aimed at developing childhood literacy - a quick spell check wouldn’t go amiss.
- If you are in the business of selling educational toys, you might want to pass a cursory glance over them before you put them on the shelves.
