OT: a short nitpicky one today

Read on a sign next to a jacuzzi in a leisure center: "The elderly be more suspectable to the effects of the spa pool." (emphasis mine)

Edited to correct typo.

Your comment combined with your icon sent me into a giggling fit I can't seem to stop.

Oddly enough, that was also my first thought. Then I started having flashbacks to this fic called "Sweeney Todd's Pirate Lady", which ruined pirate dialect for me forever.

[bandazgeek]

That fic wouldn't be a Sweeney Todd/PotC crossover, would it?

I thought Talk Like a Pirate Day wasn't until September 19th. Ah well...

[dannyvangeline]

I dunno, I like it. I think signs ought to try to be more piratey.

"Arr, there be no parkin' here, matey!"

[ironic_sun]

Pfft XD

Also - and I'm not trying to sound like a typo Nazi, just curious - but, was "suspectible" your mistake or theirs?

[bandazgeek]

It was mine - "ible" and "able" words have always tripped me up. ^^;

Also OMG that is the greatest icon I've ever seen in my life.
