Here in New England I see a lot of ads for "3 draw chests" as that's how a lot of New Englanders pronounce "drawer".

In the day's weather box on the front of a newspaper once I chuckled to see "shitting winds". "Pubic" instead of "public" is also fairly common, but very amusing just the same.

Recently in a local rag I read of the journalist's desire to "peek the reader's interest" instead of "pique". I really just wonder if any of these people actually READ much of anything...truly disappointing in someone who professes to be a writer.
