A friend of mine from Pittsgrove, NJ sent this picture to me via Facebook a few months [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sigh. Finding signs, advertising, and other major spelling and grammatical mistakes in my hometown area is occurring much too frequently. Here&#8217;s a picture of sign in front of an &#8220;unnamed church&#8221; in Hayden: Naturally my brother, being the observant excellent photographer that he is, managed to include the street address of the &#8220;unnamed&#8221; church. So, [...]]]></description>

But, I just received an email from my brother earlier today with a photo taken of a construction sign in Post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been awhile since I&#8217;ve updated my site. I apologize. I have been busy, it was summer, and time just got away from me. Anyhow, I just came across this sign (thanks to a tweet that scrolled down one of my Tweetdeck columns) and I couldn&#8217;t pass up posting it here. It&#8217;s a great addition [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I realize it&#8217;s just a little sign for a basketball tournament. But, is it really unreasonable to expect a sign that is hung within a school to contain the correct spelling of such an important word? I certainly don&#8217;t advocate reliance upon word processor program spell checkers, but at least they will alert you that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought this was an entertaining article from Fox News today. Personally, my favorite was the Children&#8217;s Dimetapp warning, &#8220;be careful when driving a motor vehicle.&#8221; Most of these warnings are absolutely ludicrous. The article lists only a few examples, so I thought it might be fun to come up with some additional ones that [...]]]></description>

I wonder if they recognized the mistake and were &#8220;too busy&#8221; with other tasks or if they just never looked to see what the message was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My daughter discovered this sign recently on a local bike path here in Coeur d&#8217;Alene. The ironic thing about this particular sign is that it is near the front of a school (Woodland Middle School, by the Comcast Building)! You would think/hope that one of the teachers would have called someone about the error on [...]]]></description>
