Familee Nite Tusday
Would you take your kids to a restaurant whose marquee displayed that message?
I wished I had my camera with me last night as I drove past a fairly reputable national-franchise fast-food restaurant that displayed "Familee Nite Tusday" on its sign. This isn't a case of the letters falling off because of the wind—the sign bordering a major state road is digital.
Being borderline psychopathic about these things, I checked the sign again—certainly the words must be spelled this way because they didn't have enough space for all of the letters to fit. Unfortunately, there was room for all of the letters with the words spelled correctly. Even if there wasn't, an acceptable abbreviation of that day of the week is "Tues." I'd even let it pass if it were without the period.
If only digital marquees had spell check!

Remember the national campaign for AT&T? When people complained, they tried to say the mistake wasn't a mistake, but that we were supposed to think we actually were the world!! Stupid outsourcing.
AT&T
You're world. Delivered.

I do remember that! I don't see how there's any wonder about why Indiana school students can't pass the ISTEP tests.
