Moving to Las Vegas was a culture shock, but nothing compared to the fact that those who graded the Nevada Writing Proficiency exams were not counting spelling.  The news I got:  Spelling doesn't count.

Well, it's just one more place where the state of Nevada got it wrong.  Spelling DOES count.

Imagine my horror, then, when I saw the sign above -- my own hometown library guilty of a spelling error.  There was nothing bizarre about the bazaar I attended at the library.  Except maybe that no one knew the bizarre was really a bazaar?

Tyler was telling me a story last night about some stuff he sees on Facebook.  Apparently there is a group of people who have their facebook pet peeves listed.  Tyler claims they are full of misspellings.  So, he added to the list of facebook pet peeves:  My pet peeve is when people don't know how to spell!  Oh, my boy, a real chip off the old block.  (Many claim the computer writing that contains spelling errors is just typos, not spelling errors.  I beg to differ.)
