The Cape Town-based Mount Nelson Hotel might have missed the mark with its latest marketing campaign, and tweeps in South Africa have not let it go unnoticed.
Twitter time lines were flooded with memes about the misplaced punctuation that changes the meaning of the hotel’s promotion, meant to boost the business.
In the advertising imagery, a slogan for the hotel states “Let’s MOUNT NELSON Together”.
Take a look at what some tweeps had to say about the unfortunate wording of the advert below:
Oh dear...who's gonna tell the Mount Nelson hotel that their catchy slogan wasn't thought out properly 😂. pic.twitter.com/K7aeVgqPFT

I kinda feel like this copy (from the home page on their website) maybe needed another set of eyes or two.
Just saying. 😂🤣 pic.twitter.com/5qMXBzaGxD
Let’s #mountnelson together 🐎 - what if it’s a genius way of getting a hotel that’s never featured on my twitter stream to trend? @miss_moss
