Two baby suits from Tesco, one carrying the slogan "I was born awsome" - missing out the first E in 'awesome' (left) and the other missing a possessive apostrophe as it reads "Daddys little man" (right), resulting in the supermarket chain promising to brush up on its spelling and grammar.

Supermarket chain Tesco has promised to brush up on its spelling and grammar after making two separate mistakes in a single pack of baby clothes.

The parents of three-month-old Alexander Kendall spotted the errors after being given the set of five Tesco F&F long sleeve bodysuits as a present.
One of the suits carries the slogan "I was born awsome" - missing out the first E in 'awesome'. Another misses a possessive apostrophe and reads "Daddys little man".

Tesco responded after Alexander's father pointed out the errors on Twitter.
It offered a refund or exchange and said: "Sorry about this, we've made our suppliers aware of this so it can be corrected for future stock."

Mother Sophie Kendall, 28, from Norwich, said: "We both work as journalists so are perhaps a bit more pedantic about these things than most.
"Fortunately Alex is a long way off being able to read so we'll just use the suits and hope nobody notices."
