OMG...not again


I opened up my latest copy of The Director, the official publication of the National Association of Directors of Nursing LTC...flipped through...aaarrrgggh....right there on page 42 in a headline "Nursing Home Residents Able to Keep Thier Stimulus Checks". THIER????????? What have we come to??? Apparently they don't use spell check or have a proof reader. Of course, I called them and offered to proof read the next issues.

Unfortunately, the English language ain't what it used to be. My favorite misspelling? Seeing "Acheive Excellence" in a poster at my kid's school. THAT seemed to send a mixed message!

From my son's teacher: absense (instead of absence) and tendancy instead of tendency.

This woman made me cringe every time I saw correspondence from her.

A recent news story discussed (and videoed)the misspelling of school ON THE PAVEMENT in a school zone. It looked like this: SCOHOL
What idiots.

My eyeballs clanged together when I visited a 4th grade classroom and saw the neatly printed "Messengar of the Week" sign.

Teach actually insisted it was correct till I could prove it to her.
