I know they are a good company and all but I avoid Chick Fil A if at all possible. You see, I'm somewhat of an English purist. What they do on pretty much all of their advertising/billboards to me is dumbing down society. Intentional misspellings galore (Eat Mor Chikin). Even the name of the company is like that. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I know their chicken is supposed to be better quality blah blah blah...

I'm sure I'm the only one in the world who thinks that way so just ignore me.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

We certainly will.

[Balding_Eagle]

I understand.

If it makes you feel any better, my English teacher, Mrs Tweet, said the same thing back in 1963.

It’s been going on a long time.

I consider myself quiet literate and actually hold writing and English lit degrees, so in general I share your concern.

That said, I do not hold cows to the same spelling standards as humans and, therefore, happily eat Chick-Fil-A with a clear conscience.

[RobbyS]

Yes, you are queer. I mean in the old sense: peculiar.

[dmz]

Hilarious analysis.

Clearly the cows were taught using the whole language approach.

You may be a scholar of the English language, but you need to study up on trademark law.

Intentional misspellings strengthen a trademark. Consider Google, one of the strongest brands on the planet. It's a misspelling of googol, a noun meaning the number ten raised to the power of 100.

Of course, then along comes cynwoody, and legions of others, who use the verb google (lower-case g) to mean do an internet search on. If Google were to pay its lawyers to send out cease and desist lawyers, it would revive the finances of the USPS.
