Pet Peeve Alert

Only those who know me REALLY well know that I have a pet peeve with public misspellings. These include such things as “BIG SAIL TODAY!” and “THE BEST DEALS ARE HEAR”. Signage with such egregious abuses to the language just drive me crazy.

So of course I spotted this jewel on my drive to school today: “WE EXCEPT VISA/MASTERCARD.” Just another sign of how successful our public school system is.

I am so with you on this one, John. Here are some of my favorites:

The drive-thru coffee stand on Hwy 99 just South of I-5 says (or used to say) they serve coffee and "expresso."

The Learning Palace in Oregon City has a "curicculum" section in their store.

Hope everything's going well with you guys. We miss you all!
