Oh, that's terrible, and I'm seeing this in soooo many places now.
Misspelled signs are one of my pet peeves. With all the consultants companies hire, you'd think they'd have someone on payroll who could spell...LOL. -- Jenn/Jalynne quilting, beads, scrapbooking, cross stitch and other 'crafti' obsessions http:/100megsfree4.com/jalynne http:/pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jalynne29/my_photos "Polly Esther" wrote in message news This morning's paper has an ad from a law office.

A few years ago, my computer tech had a new advertising flyer printed up for
his business. The finished product had several spelling errors. He asked the company if they had spell check. The answer, "Yes, we use it on big jobs." :-( -- Donna in Idaho Website: www.LinusIdaho.org "Polly Esther" wrote in message news This morning's paper has an ad from a law office.

The one that I remember is an obituary. I didn't know the man or his family
but his obit sure lingers in my mind. It listed him as a well dweller, after reading the obit I found out he was a well driller :-0 -- Bonnie NJ "Donna in Idaho" (remove spam) wrote in message ...

did you call and tell them? i would have, lol.
bad spelling really annoys me too. yes, yes, i know i dont use capitals. has 'intack' got any link to road apples? (trying to be more polite that i was thinking) tack as in horses gear. oh wait maybe thats bulls....what do they leave to step in? its a worry when law firms dont bother having a real person proof read their ads. those spell checkers will accept spelling if its a real word whether in context or not. i just dont trust them myself. jeanne -- san-fran at ihug dot co dot nz nzlstar on yahoo msg'r http://community.webshots.com/user/nzlstar "Polly Esther" wrote...

I think that is a huge problem now days too, especially with this new "No
Child Left Behind" law. Teachers are forced to promote students to the next grade whether they have actually made the grades to earn that promotion. That give the kids a new manipulation tool because they can blow off school and pass anyway. I feel sorry for the teachers who are truly dedicated to teaching and really care about whether the students learn or not. They are in a tough position. In this computer age with spell checkers people have a false sense of security about their spelling and grammar. I have always been very meticulous about my spelling and it really irritates me to see simple words misspelled just because people get lazy and think the spell checker will catch it. I'm not a perfect speller by any means and it irritates me when I find out that I have misspelled a word. One of my pet peeves though is when people misuse Then and Than. grrrrr. Ok off my soap box. lol. Mika http://community.webshots.com/user/mikasdrms "WitchyStitcher" wrote in message ... I have this in my classroom.
