No, it’s not like “personnel,” people…
During my recent trip to Wisconsin to see my family for Thanksgiving, my dad and I decided to go walking through a nearby town known for some adorable little shoppes. Little did we know, however, that we’d run into a couple of brilliantly misspelled signs. I only managed to capture a shot of one of them, which you can see below. It looks like whoever planned the window writing for this business mixed “personalized” with “personnel” when working on the script. The best/worst part? This was an event invitations/cards/stationery business. Needless to say, I would NEVER patronize a document business that lacks the chutzpah to recognize and fix a major misspelling on its storefront.
The other misspelling? A business located on the intersection of two streets (the signs were literally mere feet away) had misspelled the name of the street on their hanging sign. In large text. Right next to the street signs. Did I mention the correct spelling was on the street sign… right there?
