Spelling Counts

I acknowledge that if you're engaging this woman's services, it's going to be real estate related and not spelling related:


Nevertheless, I still wouldn't be encouraged to know that she's "never to busy for referrals." In fact, I'm fairly sure that the closest interpretation of the actual spelling here would be that she never gets occupied by referrals. So I guess don't bother.

I'd also like to know who stole the dot over the "i" in "Cabin."

My other favorite was a billboard for 850 KOA here in town. Their current slogan for their traffic reporter is "Give us a minute and save thirty."

Meaning you'll save thirty minutes if you give us one.

On a billboard, space is at a premium of course, so things get shortened.
By a bad proofreader.
Now the billboard said...

"Give us a minute, save :30."

Wait, I'm giving you a minute to save thirty SECONDS? That's not a deal at all!

Someone else noticed because the colon was painted over 2 days later. :P
