DRIVE-BY EDITING: spelling

This sign has a lot going for it, including eye-catching colour and easy-to-read typeface. It also features not one, but two spellings of “appliances”: the Canadian Oxford-approved spelling, in the second line, and an exotic European spelling—“applicances”—in the final line.

  1. That’s what happens when you have a love affair with words. A mere street sign can come under close scrutiny. I have a habit of perusing license plates and trying to make words out of the numbers and letters.
