Is that Europa-Park? I've noticed lots of small things like that over the years, but at least they have the excuse that English isn't their first or even second language

I put it in the wrong topic. It is Europa, and the errors are now in the General Grammatical Errors topic. Sorry.

They are all cable launch coasters....!

aha! I was looking for a typing error, not a classification error! Yes I should have realised Rita isn't (my depth of knowledge on the others isn't so good).

Not sure if this counts as a typo/grammatical error but...

'Obtundity' signs bewilder York residents and visitors

People in York were seen scratching their heads at an obscure word used on new road signs.

www.bbc.co.uk

Signs which have appeared on the streets of York have left some people in the city baffled and bewildered and prompted a storm on social media.

The boards, which read, "Exercise Obtundity", left some unsure whether they were being given an instruction or a warning.

One visitor quipped "someone's been playing scrabble by the look of it".

The truth, however, is the obscure word - meaning "to deaden" - is the name of a police-led training exercise.

If it’s anywhere like where I work, exercises are named from a pre approved list of weird names… obviously the more exercises you run, the more obscure the names get. I would have thought the EXERCISE OBTUNDITY should’ve been in caps to show it’s an exercise - but that might just be where I work that does that.

The only thing I can think of is some fruit is sprayed with beeswax. This wouldn’t be strictly vegan, however I think life may be a little too short to worry about that

I wasn't expecting to see spelling mistakes in an online dictionary.
