Restaurant commits punctuation blunder on advertising pamphlet
An Indian restaurant in London has been ridiculed for missing out on a small but crucial punctuation sign on its leaflet.
Social media users were left laughing out loud when a picture of a pamphlet for Anu’s Kitchen began to do the rounds on the Internet.
According to new reports, the leaflet was used on a takeaway delivery site ‘Foodhub’, and read: “Anus Kitchen is now available on foodhub.co.uk.”
The lack of apostrophe after Anu did not go unnoticed as it inadvertently changed the whole meaning of the word.
It led to merciless trolling of the Indian restaurant on social media. The picture was first shared on Facebook user Paul Brook, who wrote: “Why punctuation is important.”
It had since gathered hundreds of ‘likes’ and amused comments on the social media platform.

A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com
A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
