Typos drive me insane..... probably more than they should.

I don't know why, but for some reason, my eye has always been pretty good at catching typos. Today, my daughter got an email from the English Curriculum Specialist at her high school informing her that since she was in the top percentile of her Junior class, she was invited to be a Junior Marshall at the graduation this year. Pretty cool, right?

I read on and I quote, "Junior Marshalls must be dressed as following: white dresses (appropriate for the ceremony) or kaki pants with long sleeve white collared shirt and tie that does not distract from the formality of the ceremony." Now, unless they are requiring them to wear pants made out of Japanese persimmons, I think the word they are looking for is khaki.

They probably don't want them wearing Japanese persimmons pants. But do they really want girls wearing collard shirts and Thais?

I'm with you, "kaki" jumped out to me before I even got to it.

While 'Kaki' is bothersome, the grammar is pretty awful for an "English Curriculum Specialist", and irritates me more!

I just wish folks could grasp how/when to use "sale" and "sell"

It's so foreign to some to actually understand that concept

I think it's time for me to sale my car

Say that out loud dumbass. Are you prepared to cross the English channel without a motor propelling that MF? Jezza would be proud

Yeah, it's poorly written (irrespective of the typo), especially for someone who allegedly specializes in the English language.

Also, marshal is only supposed to have one L.
