Israeli English

A comic interlude.

A friend of mine, IB, spotted a case of wrong spelling in an ad on an Israeli web site so she wrote to them, thus:

Hi,
I don't know if you are the right address to send to, but nothing else seemed to fit.

There is a typographical error in the advertisement about the Torah CDs. The opening should read "Let there be sound."
But the last 'e' is missing in "there". It is only in the large one at the top of the home page. In the in other places where I have seen this ad, "there" is spelled correctly.

And lo and behold! She received an almost immediate reply:

Thanks allot


Oh, well. It was a good try.
