Misspelled Signs

Conveniece?

Google is your friend, or even a dictionary.

Now, I know that my spelling isn’t always spot on… But at least I didn’t spell the website name wrong 😉

Did you mean? I think you did…

As a side note, this will be it for a few days. I’m going to enjoy my time off this week, and the next post will be the New Year’s Eve year in review post…

  • I know it is not their job but the sign companies should at least catch some of these mispellings. A bad one a few years back was a restaurant at Central and Seminole called the "Transilvania Restaurant". It had an image of a haunted castle on it. Pretty funny, but for all the effort you'd think they'd get the spelling right.

  • let's count the number of typos in these postings (beyond the obvious ones)..not to mention poor sentence structure!
    people who live in glass houses....

  • C'mon Chris, we are probably casually sloppy and not overly concerned about grammar, etc.
    After all, our comments are NOT emblazoned in large, often illuminated, characters and in front of a public structure for the whole (passing) world to view...

  • Ken:
    What are you incinerating? Are you trying to create a little dysentry among the posters? Don't make me an escape goat for all the bad writing...

    As an editor I couldn't help but be amused by the comments with typos and malapropos vis. a posting about grammar!

  • Here's a chinese resturant for you....Wong Fu Chin Place.Or how about Wong Fook Hing Book store.Ya mst b smlng nw!

  • I have a girlfriend who had this tatoo on her arm - "This to shall pass". There is no room to add the extra o either. At least a sign can be taken down, or painted over.

  • Finally!
    I've driven past this for more than a year and have wanted to post my photos somewhere, glad someone has done so.
    I'm sure it has been brought to the attention of the vendor but come on, how much does a sign cost? The sign company should have caught it beforehand. And where are the sign police? I have witnessed many times business owners having to replace their signage for various reasons, codes, etc. Shouldn't spelling be a crucial element?
    If the vendor did do it as a gimmick for business, well shame on them for bastardizing the language, encouraging stupidity to sell cigarettes and pop.

    I agree with you Chris, plenty of typos in this post.
