As long as I have known how to read, I have been wondering about one thing: Why are there so many spelling mistakes in signs people put up in public places. You know the ones. "Wet pant" and so on. I estimate that 85 percent of such notes are misspelled one way or the other.
Because they used to be handwritten notes, I always thought the reason was just that people were too focused on making them look good, so they were just a little too close to the paper or cardboard or whatever it was they were writing on. But these days everybody’s making their notes on a computer so that theory doesn’t hold up anymore.
OK, if you’ve lost your camera, maybe you’re upset about it, so you type a note fast, print it out, and sprint back out to tape the notes onto trees. I guess you have other things on your mind then so mistakes happen.
And on the other hand, when you see a spelling error, it seems pretty petty to go up to somebody and point it out, right? Nobody has done it at the local library, anyway.
Until tomorrow.
Det här vill jag ha en uppföljning på i kommentatorsfältet, hur gick det?
I bet this post is funny as shit if you read Swedish.
