Irritating signposts

Thinking of opening up a Spelling school? Very good idea I would say. A must go center for all. Take a drive around the country, you will certainly be hit by sign posts that read like this:

"Soda Dipo - No parking! " As if injury done on this word is not more than enough, others will even spell Depot as Deepo?


"Do not Liter" That's why we will continue littering the streets of our beautiful country.

Why pay for a signpost that has a mistake for all the world to see/read? It does not make sense. But Funny enough the person paying for the sign may not have an inkling on the right spelling s.
Even amongst ourselves, in our offices.. how many emails have you received with so many spelling mistakes in them?


It reminds me of my workmate who has a problem with spellings. All his emails will have plenty of mispelt words. Instead of getting the gist of his emails, one gets busy trying to correct the spelling mistakes. Reading his emails becomes a laborious thing and thus boring in the end.

Guys get a grip on yourselves, invest in a dictionary. This information age has even made it more simpler by using the spell check tool on your PCs. How much easier can it get? A small spelling mistake will always put your intended audience off. It depicts a wrong image. We need to style up Spell wise.....hmm? Don't you think?
