Oh for a spell checker
Posted on | May 4, 2009 | Comments Off
I go by the store in the photo many, many times during the week. It is amazing how oblivious we can be to our surroundings until something finally registers in our subconscious and demands we pay attention.
That happened about 2 weeks ago as I trundled by this spot yet again. It was at that moment the store name finally registered somewhere in my mind. I walked about 1/2 a block and I stopped. What was wrong with that sign? I backed up and looked, but nothing registered so I started back towards the subway.
Again I got a little way up the street and that nagging little part of my mind that says something isn’t quite right surfaced again. I had to back up and look again. Then it hit me. Oh proof reading – such an undervalued skill. At least I get a good giggle everytime I go by it now.
Oh for a good proof reader
