A road contractor hired to paint the word "school" on a freshly paved stretch of road near Southern Guilford High School in North Carolina rendered the traffic area in question a "shcool" zone.That's right, dear road contractor, get on your knees and look at that typo. Do we need to circle it with a red pen, a la "Secretary"?
Prepare to be spakned.
Isn't that the british spelling? Or pronunciation?
ReplyDeleteSomebody needs the paldde. For sure.
You did it. I knew you would. Looks great.
ReplyDelete@BT: you're funny.
ReplyDelete@Miss Pink: the contractor does need a paddle. But now I'd say you're looking for any reason to spank anyone.
-H
@BT..awfully quick with the paddle aren't ya.LOL
ReplyDeletePink..that guy will probably never get to live that down..it's freakin hilarious! thank you !
BT: At the risk of offending anyone, I'd say that you have a point. I have heard it pronounced "Shcool" before...perhaps he was a recent transplant and was spelling it phonetically?
ReplyDeleteEither way, a paddle is in order.
And thank you for your help! This way people can just give their responses without constructing a comment...but I do so love all the comments.
H: Spankings are always in order. Especially if I can watch. Or participate. :)
HMG: I know...I feel sorry for him, actually. It's being reported everywhere...AP picked it up, Reuters...it's on the BBC. Poor, bad spelling fellow.
Mark Twain, a notably poor speller once said, "I don't think much of a man that can spell a word only one way!"
LOL -- I highly doubt it had anything to do with irony. More like brain-deadery.
ReplyDeleteErica: Good to see you here!
ReplyDeleteBrain-deadery or Tied-one-too-many-on-erie -- it is damn funny.
Spakned?
ReplyDeleteLove your work Ms Pink/Miss Holloway.
Kirsten.
Our BBC picked this one up, he must be so embarrassed. No we don't spell it like that in the UK and I think he needs to go back to school:)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

Kirsten: Thank you! I love your work as well. I hope your recovery is as relaxing and pain-free as possible. I'd hug you, but you know...might hurt your ribs. Mostly I'm glad you and your family are (relatively) all right.
ReplyDeleteRonnie: Can you imagine making such a mistake? When I make a spelling error on this blog, my heart stops. And that's limited readership. I can't even picture what it would be like on this grand of scale.
After the paddle, he needs a good hug.
