I think that most take and pass those tests in the 10th grade.

Many years ago a Chicago protestor made a statement live on local TV: “We is educated!” and went on from there. It appears that he is now doing spellcheck for protestor signs.

I assume it is a blessing that the other sign is not legible.

are only homophones in the confines for an elementary school classroom

I don't think the elementary school kids can have cell phones, even if they are gay.

Oh, c’mon...everyone is entitled to one really stupid typo at least once in their life. :)

I (to my everlasting shame) once wrote “squirrely” instead of “squarely”, in a short story I had written.

I thank God it was caught before it went to ‘print’.

I make my share of typos, too, and would hate to be judged for them.

However, this is a hand lettered sign, I don’t think I make “typos” when I hand letter.

I was being just a little bit sarcastic lol.

There really can be no excuse for a mistake that bad on a written sign.

Of course, it may have accomplished one thing.

The person who wrote it may never show their face in public again. ;)

That's not a typo. That is a misuse of a word due to ignorance. The word "are" is spelled correctly.

Yes, it reminds me of another common misuse of words - when people write "would of", when they really mean to write the contraction "would've" (for 'would have').

It is really sad that no one else though to point out the problem with her sign....or were not aware of the problem with her sign. Is there any wonder that employers don’t give the High School Diploma the importance it once had?
