Must be a new kind of school,maybe it's a cool school that's real quiet. Somebody put the templates down in the wrong order & didn't realise it.

That's funny! Wonder if some wag did it purposely...and will say it was an accident?

nautilator That's unusual -- this is this isn't the first time that's happened. Here's another one for example:

I'm sure it's happened locally too but haven't been able to find anything. As soon as I do...

czech7985 Makes me wonder who was assigned, by the contractor, to paint this sign. Was it some illegal immigrant who has no clue about spelling and may be does not know how to speak English?

kaddarsgirl

czech7985, who are you including under your "illegal immigrant" heading?

As I read it, your comment altogether seems rather rude. Just because someone can't spell (or at least you assume they can't spell) does not mean that they are "illegal". And you shouldn't be linking immigration and English speaking together anyway. There are plenty of immigrants, legal or otherwise, who speak and spell English very well, and there are plenty of citizens who can't speak or spell English well at all.

Greatguggly Whoever it was I bet they didn't spend much time in scholo.

Talking of which! Have you ever written down a word then thought, that's not the correct spelling? Then you change it, only to find that it still doesn't look right? Frustrates the life out of me. lol

jokerkevin I like that, but I still believe that it is an honest mistake. It can happen to the best of us.

I have enough trouble saying some words, Anesthetic being one of them, Anesthetist another. I had to look for the correct spelling for both too. lol

Reply #13. Aug 28 12, 5:58 AM

Greatguggly Try anesthesiologist.

Thank you greatguggly. I have been in fits of laughter trying to say it but alas, another word to cause me grief. lol

Reply #15. Aug 28 12, 11:09 AM

Greatguggly I can't say it either and I couldn't spell it right. I had to look back at the word three or four times. lol

Reply #16. Aug 28 12, 12:53 PM

lesley153 More fun with diphthongs.
Anaesthetist anaesthetic anaesthesia.
