Okay then, in two steps I saw two words that irritated me.

The first was on a Subway poster - Do the Math! - advertising their sub of the day. No. In this country the abbreviation of mathematics is maths. Don't start trying to import American spellings. Otherwise I will expect an American level of service.

And right next door a professional sign outside a hairdressers advertising Heena Designs on a list of beauty services. Does no-one check their proofs any more?!

Short answer - no. I've seen many spelling and grammar errors even from major media providers.
