I was horrified to see this sign in a downtown storefront. (And I’m trying to figure out how to use that adverb in a sentence.)

  3. Anti-Semitic? Phfft! All that picture shows is that neither the sign maker nor the store owner can spell. On the one hand, someone needs to ask for their money back. On the other, maybe he got what he deserved if he was too dumb to notice.

    If you’re smart, you won’t go in there to get something engraved.

  4. Well, technically, I beat him to the punch by posting it before he had a chance to include it in a post.

  5. How about we just go with stupid contractor on this one. Seems like an innocent mistake unless someone can shed light on the store owner.

  6. reminds of the diamond store radio ads in Houston that kept talking about Houston’s jewry store. gee I wonder if they’re running a sale on Lubavitchers?
    it’s much like folks who say Cavalry when they mean Calvary

  9. This sign raises a number of useage questions that I think only @FakeAPStylebook can answer.

  10. @salad days: Just because Robert posted something first doesn’t mean the e-mail we all got has been rendered useless. OR DOES IT?

    (But yeah, he should have posted with more alacrity.)

  11. @carter Class of ‘72, Lobot, and the other people who will probably say something similar: I guess Tim’s sarcasm really does need its own sarcastic font.

  12. How could Dallas possibly get a worse name than it already has?
    City Council members…
    DISD Board memebers…..

  13. Ohhh it just made me laugh.

  14. I agree with Mr. Blackburn. Nothing is more embarrassing to a city than unintentional spelling errors. Except when I make them.

  15. This store owner clearly needs a professional copy editor on the big stage.
