Fatality results in weekend wreck
By Hollice SmithThe Daily Sentinel
Published January 30, 2007One person was killed in a traffic accident on Alabama Highway 35 about 11:10 p.m. Sunday, according to state troopers.Troopers said the accident occurred about one mile south of Scottsboro.Hughes was driving a 1999 Jeep, which hit a guard rail, and he was wearing a seat belt, authorities said.Jackson County Coroner John David Jordan said Hughes had been working in Huntsville with a cleaning service and is believed to have been returning home.

This is an article in an Alabama newspaper. I deleted some of the information. Notice the headline. While it is possible for someone to die and cause a wreck, I do not believe that is what happened here.

I can just hear the teachers at the schools near this..."You better study your spelling words. You don't want to end up making mistakes like SOTP."
Stop. No, wait, don't stop.
I am thinking that there are not many opportunities to advance your career at this store.





A most unfortunate last name..... wonder if the men in this family have trouble finding a woman who will marry them.
Huh??
What a unique combination of merchandise at such an appropriately named store!
Hmmm.....if one is illiterate, can one read the sign? I suppose someone who is functionally illiterate could read it.
I guess each kid would have to prove that he/she indeed has gas in order to receive the discount. Line up kids and wait your turn.
You mean that they are still dead??
Let's start with teaching a bit of spelling!
Five kids for the price of two kids...what a deal!!
I bet! It would probably not be the type of attention you'd want. I see some blue lights flashing.
I wonder if the person who made this sign drove to work drunk or got too drunk to spell while at work.

Check out the previous post dealing with this same mistake regarding the proper use of the cent sign and decimal point. This sign is on the same road as the other one. It is spreading!

It is spelled u-n-t-i-l. This one is on Highway 5 in Bryant, Arkansas.
**** This one was changed the day after I took this picture.

Where is the q? You can get a glimpse of this sign along Interstate 40 between Menifee and Conway, Arkansas.

Wow!! What a deal!! You can get a bag of ice for less than one penny at Burger King in Benton, Arkansas. If you use the decimal point, then you must use a dollar sign since the decimal point with the dollar sign means a fraction of a dollar. Using the decimal with the cent sign means a fraction of a cent.
There should be a space between ice and bags.

Another unnecessary apostrophe error plagues passersby.
Notice the discrepancy between the large font that says $11.99 and the small font that says $10.99. It is odd that you like what you read in the small print.

It should read "FOR YOUR" not "FOR YOU." At least this sign's author did not write "FOR YOU'RE." I also question the use of quotation marks. To add insult to injury, this sign was posted throughout Harvest Foods. Posted by Picasa

Man, I thought I was picky! My husband caught this one at Malvern National Bank in Bryant, Arkansas. The marks that are supposed to denote inches following the 6 are turned the wrong way. Posted by Picasa
