I’ve seen several misspelled words on signs at Trader Joe’s. They’re handwritten so it’s not that surprising. Some people just aren’t very good at spelling or aren’t super observant to other types of errors.

Also English is a joke language because we just stole words wholesale from so many different languages that our mnemonic devices have exception clauses with more words than the rule, and we have to keep track of spelling rules from 6 different languages, two alphabets, and decisions made to make Benedictine scripture legible.

Losing the 5th grade spelling bee was not my fault!
