In spell checking the TWSW» (TravelWatch SouthWest - website) text a few minutes ago, I was working on a serious sentence about the widening of pavements,  and conversions of roads into pedestrian areas.   However, with one of my spelling mistakes and an autocorrect, I found myself writing about more pavement space for pescetarians.

Should more space be allowed for that part of our population which eats fish, but not meat?

Do members have other "fun examples" of spelling corrections on transport posts?

Most certainly for an amorous prawn and most certainly not for any other forms of selfish shellfish!

I would suggest that wider pavements for people who eat sprouts might be more beneficial than for those who eat fish...

They're already doing this in parts of France, where pavements are being converted into trouttoirs.
