Spill Cheek Didn’t Catch This
On our recent trip to the other islands just to our north, we saw this sign on a ferry:
“Note: All trash and refuge must be deposited into the reciprocals on board the vessal.”

In South Carolina they spell buses …busses. Both are correct but I only see busses in SC.

An art show I had here in my town of Ennis a few years back was written up in the local small town paper. A friend and I held it together; we were described in the article as having been “fiends” for years. I loved that…

Tomayto, tomahto, whatever, as long as it is understandable, Wreg. And, I guess this ferry phrase is understandable as long as you don’t take it too literally. Like if you’re too literate.
Love it, Trudi! [You're such an art fiend, and I'm glad to have you as my fiend
]!

Too literate. Yup – lowest common denominator rules – grammar and spelling no longer matter. New World.
Tomato season is waning here, one of them melted long before getting red in the ripening bowl. BUT soon come the mangoes! The flamboyants are sparse but beginning. The baby hawks are riding the thermals screaming.

“Golden Corral” is an “all-you-can-eat buffet” eating establishment on Route 13 in Carbondale.
One morning they advertised a sirloin steak special on the “bufeet” on their roadside billboard
(Even though “buffet” was correctly spelled on the side of their building).
I called and informed the manager on duty, who didn’t believe me.
The sign remained “bufeet” until they changed the special.

Oh Gary, don’t get Terry started in ‘dinning’ establishments.
