The Editor Never Sleeps

This is one of those puzzles that comes with a car. There is a little groove on the puzzle and when put together correctly, the car drives around the puzzle. The puzzle in this case is a map of the United States. I was psyched about this puzzle because Little Man is learning his states and can currently sing the states in alphabetical order from Alabama to Iowa!





Today, while Little Man and I were talking about our upcoming trip to Gulf Shores Alabama, I noticed something. Did we change the abbreviation for Kentucky? No wonder the previous owner was so willing to give it up in a garage sale!




I don't seek out things like this, I just see them! It is like the sixth sense; "I see spelling and grammatical errors!" I know I am not the only one...what have you noticed lately?

That is so funny!!
I am one of those too, that see the odd mis-spellings - they just seem to jump out at me.
There is a business here that put out the coolest sign in front of their business - which was granite - it is a huge granite ball, spinning on top of a pedestal on a layer of water....so neat....til you read the words (carved in granite) below...'Granite Wharehouse"
I cannot imagine what it cost them to get that fixed...lol!

Lol -- that would drive me nuts!

I teach elementary school and sometimes I see a word spelled incorrectly so often that the mispelling actually starts to look right. I heart my dictionary and spellcheck!

Another question is why is that hot dog laying across the Ohio/Indiana border?

We had that game...the boys loved it. I am sure it doesn't surprise you that I never would have noticed, things like that don't bother me. have a great trip to the beach! Do you have room in your suitcase?

hehehe...I am this way too....My friends call me the Human Dictionary as a result. My only foible? Typing - b/c typing errors are not the same as misspelling due to ignorance! But, thank goodness for Firefox whilst blogging!

I'm the same way, stuff just jumps out at me.
One of our clerks here at the hospital was writing the word "respitory" on the boards, meaning "respiratory". Drove me crazy!
