RANDOM THOUGHT ALERTS (Vol. 2, No. 2)


As a participant in nine total spelling bees, "obsessive" is an understatement.  Whether it's at work or on social media, it takes a lot out of me when people butcher words--especially when they have the correct spelling right in front of them and they still spell it wrong.  Heck, right before typing this intro, I was quoting a Kingpen Slim freestyle where he referenced Topanga from Boy Meets World and I verified it via Wikipedia before commenting instead of settling for an incorrect spelling.  Enter the person guilty of the spelling faux pas above.  Either they snuck this street sign past me recently or I have lived in this area for over three years now, passed this intersection hundreds of times and never noticed they added an extra "n" in "Briggs Chaney Road" until several months ago.  Yeah...I was so bothered by the mistake and pressed that I took a picture of it, but that's not the point.  While it's the only sign along a stretch of 5.7 miles spelled erroneously, they still made the mistake of not misspelling it closer to Cloverly where I didn't have to see it everyday.  Hence, I only have four words for you, dear sir or madam: you had one job.  Now on with the other nonsense...
