Here’s a fun little typo from a restaurant menu – it insinuates that the chicken was actually mined,ย the way diamonds or gold would be.

Funny, I always thought that chickens were farmed, not mined! ๐ That proofreading error – “mined” instead of “minced” – flashed this image in my mind:
!["Mined" chicken!](https://www.proofpositivepro.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/mined-chicken-graphic.jpg?w=300)
“Mined” chicken!
Another case where a detached second-party proofreader would have caught and eliminated the error!
