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 have a friend who has the worst english he spells and says the word "them" as thum and says intrust instead of intrest i think he's a hillbilly

  • OK, the worst one that I'm reminded of all the time is Hi Neighbor, this is Canada! Where is the "u"???? Also, Dan, spelt is a type of grain, if using spelt in place of spelled, it is latin, not proper english.

  • Oh, I've just read some of these comments over again. One of my favourites is the "Amazing Marshmellow" place - and the Pasteries they sell!

  • What's the proper past participle of "pasteries"? And more importantly, can you say it ten times - fast...

  • To answer Tim about why Drunkin’ opposed to Drunken. The name seemed to clear to be associated as Drunken, and more friendly as Drunkin’, plus the miss spelling tied into it as well. Seemed more fun and not defined spelled the correct way.

    Caught your attention didn't it? :o)
