Misspellings in ads

I've run into a couple of cases on my sites where ads have shown up with misspellings. Example: the word cereal written as "crereal". Have some of you run into that?

All my ads are connected with education, and many of them don't capitalise proper nouns, including country names. That must surely put people off clicking on them. It doesn't exactly improve the look of my site...

Sooner or later (doesn't usually take long) the AdWords editors will spot it and disable those ads until they are corrected. I wouldn't worry too much.

I beleive I remember a form on Google where you can repoirt ads, their quality and what you thought of them. Not sure how to get to that page right now, maybe the ads by google link. try that!

yes i have noticed them too, really turns me off and as a result i m sure, people downgrade the site too. u can click on the "ads by google" link and post ur comment about that particular ad, i m sure a spelling mistake will b taken care of ASAP. ppl shld report them.

On two occassions I added an Adwords ad with a mispelling. One was a rather technical word. Each time Google caught the error within a day, e-mailed me, and suspended the ad until I corrected it.

Once I had an ad that looked OK when I entered it in their form. However, I was notified that I wouldn't like the ad if it were run (as apparently can happen) in a single line. (If I remember correctly, the first work on the first full line was the same as the last word in the title).

Just as with print publications, it is copy editors who prevent me from looking as stupid as I sometimes feel. ;}

That's right - if you click on the Ads by Google link you'll get a feedback form for the ads showing at the time you clicked the link. That would be the place to report mis-spellings if Google itself doesn't correct them.
