Now Excepting …

This is one of my favorites. For several months these vinyl banners hung on the face of several thrift stores around Oklahoma City. I think what they meant was, “accepting.” “Excepting” means they take anything BUT credit cards, which is the opposite of what they intended to say. The signs were eventually removed.

Don’t think spelling counts?

I’ve added a new section to the website today called “Spelling Counts.” It drives me crazy to see typos out in public. Don’t get me wrong, we all make mistakes — but if you’re having a professional sign printed or are putting a message out on your marquee, take a moment to double check your spelling, would ya? Here’s an example of the type of picture I’ll be posting in this new category. Merry Charistmas!
