Proofreading Philly

Proofreading Philly tries to capture typos, wordos, and all other kinds of grammatical mistakes that we see around the city. But we need your help! Email photos to us from your computer or your phone, and show the city that you care about good grammar.

The windows you see above are on the same building. It's a building we pass regularly on our way to and from the gym. It's located on the corner of Spruce and Juniper, at 1321 Spruce, and the lettering on the front door correctly identifies its location. But if you go around the corner, the window signage indicates that you've suddenly traveled eleven blocks south to Juniper and Wharton. Looking around, though, you notice you haven't been teleported – the window is just wrong. It's less a proofreading error and more a fact-checking one, but no less embarrassing than misspelling your name or livelihood.
