It's not sad - I think it's a riot
Could be just a typo. Around here almost all schools have electronic signs. Someone made a mistake, it happens. I think it’s a little embarrassing, but doesn’t take away from the student’s accomplishment.
*Edited because I had a typo in my post.
Gotta be honest, it took me a minute to remember speech is spelled with two e's. I was 40 before I learned dilemma didn't have an "n" in it. And I'm an English major!
In fact, I was ranting at my wife a few days ago (another English major and teacher) about how it's dumb that "her" is both the third person female objective and possessive pronoun (except when it's "hers").
Or an "E" in ridiculous.There are a lot of people who don't know there is not an 'A' in definite,
Right, but no one at the school noticed it yet???Haven't you ever had a moment where a word that you've spelled correctly hundreds of times suddenly looks wrong? And then you second guess yourself trying to figure out why it doesn't look right. It happens to me (senior moment at 45?) and I'm a decent speller. It's like my brain short circuits.
Misspellings happen.
They’re going to their house because you’re there!I'm in my 40's and still spell 'their' wrong when I type. I just figure it out before I hit "send" so I can't say anything about the person who created that message except- proofreading is fundamental
Public school?
