#297 Spelling Errors


I saw this misspelled word sitting at the stop light waiting for the light. I looked up the spelling for absorbent just to make sure.

  4. Good catch! And I would have looked up the spelling just as you did!

  5. As a former proofreader, misspelled words stand up, jump up and down, and wave their arms at me! A lot of times it's done deliberately (such as the brand of truck stops there used to be around here--since I don't travel so much any more, I don't know if they're still around!--named appropriately, if incorrectly spelled: Truxtop). I have to laugh when I find an advertisement with words accidentally spelled wrong. One should always proofread one's ad BEFORE it's painted on the back of one's truck!
