Do you tell them?


I know the picture is lousy, but if you can't read it, it says, "Bad Credit. No Credit. Clearence Sale. Welcome!!!"

That "Clearence" just kills me! They paid a lot of money for this sign. Did it ever occur to them to do a spell check on it? Do they know it's misspelled? Do they want to know? Do the people who might buy a car from them see the sign and decide to go elsewhere? Are they trying to appeal to people who can't spell?

These questions go through my head every time I see that sign.

It's a real dilemma for me.

It is quite pathetic just how often I see bad spelling on printed materials. What's worse is that I've seen it on the walls of a couple of grade school teacher's walls (and not in items displayed that the students made.)
It makes me frustrated.
Is this the result of the introduction of spell check?

In this market I say let them think they got a good deal on a sign. If you point it out you may just push them off the deep end! :) Did I spell anything wrong in this post? ;)
