Mistakes like these always fascinate me. How do they come about? Is it the fault of the business, or the sign-writer, or a combination of the two? Does the business decide what the spelling should be, and not accept input from the sign-writer? Does the sign-writer get it wrong, but the business owner fail to notice or care? Do sign-writers look up words they are unsure of? I don't know, but I find photographing the mistakes irresistible.
Hope you had a good International Women's Day. Mine got off to a depressing start when I attended a university computing lecture in which only about 2% of the students were female.
