Signs with misspellings
mis·spell·ing
1. the act of spelling incorrectly
2. an incorrectly spelled word
I've always been amused by signs. Yesterday I saw two funny signs. One of them was on a sign in front of an elementary school. I couldn't believe that nobody had noticed it. Teachers drive in and out every day.
I sure hope the kids have a good sprig break!
I am glad my kids didn't go to that school!
Later I saw another sign but was not able to take a picture. It was a hand painted sign that said: "Chihuahua puppeys for sale". Would you buy a dog from this person??? I wish I could have taken a picture of that sign but there was no way that I could. I don't know if they spelled chihuahua right, I looked it up for this post. I don't remember seeing the 2nd and 3rd h's in it but I can't say for sure. I definitely know it said "puppeys".
This is a sign right here in Jackson, MI. I saw this during the winter on my way to the gym one day. It was still there a few days later when I had my camera.
If they didn't know how to spell laboratory why didn't they just say "lab"????
I, Runner Nerd, try to be a good speller. I proofread everything at least 3 times. If anyone ever notices a spelling error PLEASE point it out to me!!! (sometimes I do use slang type words in my blog, such as: gonna, gotta, runnin, hafta, etc) Runner Nerd's brain takes a break occasionally!!
I am a runner, I've run 6 marathons and every race distance between that and 5K. I have done 1 sprint triathlon so far.
I started this blog when I went back to college in Jan. 2009 at the age of 46.(thus the title, "runner nerd"!) I was the world's oldest college student! I graduated December 15, 2012 first in my class! I really was a nerd!
After a long career in EMS, I needed a change. Since earning my degree, I work in a hospital as a Respiratory Therapist.
I have 2 grown up kids.
