A Good Spelling Mistake

I read this on CityWire‘s web site.

Newspapers and stationary retailer WH Smith (SMWH.L) is to release a Christmas trading statement on Wednesday.

Those who were at school with me, might remember a notice pinned to the door of the Stationery Office, which said something like.

Stationery Office

Hasn’t Moved in Years.

I hope we got the spelling right, as we were pupils at a Grammar School.

  1. It really does amaze me how poor spelling is these days.

    • My father, a printer, was a stickler for spelling and grammar. But only because he always had the right books to hand. All the compositors he trained were also as punctilious as he was, as they found it got them better jobs, when they moved on.

      There is no excuse these days, as the computer can be set to pick out your mistakes.
