Funny guy in New York

[Ben]

Took this picture the other day in Times Square, NYC.

What you think, Bri?

[Shane]

Who cares about the guy?! Look at all the amazing scaffolding behind him!

[Brianna.]

Yeah!

Go city bums!

The number two (on the piece of cardboard) is spelled incorrectly.

[Brianna.]

...it's not spelled...and the first "to" is in the correct form.

[Sponge'K'nob]

Haha..

[ib0b]

...it's not spelled...and the first "to" is in the correct form.

It should be spelled so I wrote that ("[it] is spelled incorrectly").



He's not funny though. It would be hard for me to respect someone who holds up a sign like that.

[Shane]

She meant the the incorrect spelling was "spelled", it should be "spelt". ;)

[ib0b]

Those words are synonymous. The word spelt is ambiguous in that it is a type of plant or food. I know this because my mom was obsessed with health and she bought spelt flour (I think). That is why I used the alternate spelling.

But really, this is great [conversation]. To me, it is much better than discussing the picture above.

Never heard of "Spelt Flour" but all I know is when I used to put "spelled" in primary school, my teacher would dart across the room at the speed of sound and crack me across the back of the head. :P

[ib0b]

Your teacher would crack your back with her head?
