h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Frustrating as it is to recieve incorrect information, it is far worse to recieve it poorly written.
A set of pre printed instructions handed out by a Hotel chain giving direction to a nearby theme park said
" At the next roundabout take the first left follow the roundabout onto A****".
The first part of the instruction is o.k.(take fist left).
The next piece is a typo and should have read 'ring road'not roundabout. As we all know you cannot follow a roundabout, they are not capable of moving.

Anyone else have examples of poorly written instructions or typo's

Well, seeing as you're asking: you have one typo (fist) and one grammar mistake (typo's: plural does not take an apostrophe) in your text.

I did ask

and 'receive' of course takes "i before e except after c" rule.
