    That's too funny. I live just a short drive from there. My wife grew up in the next town over and learned to pronounce that in school.

    Was a really big deal in the local town news for awhile that they spelled that wrong.

    Think spell check would have caught that?

    That's quite a name for a lake! It seems like I would double and triple check the spelling on a job like that and then spell "Lake" wrong...

    The Indian name, which means 'The fishing place at the boundaries, the neutral meeting ground', was written with an O at letter 20 in place of a U and an H at letter 38 instead of an N.

    phfff even I spotted that one!

    Isn't it nice that the spelling error was 'their' fault though!
    I'm sure the signmaker had someone sign off on the proof
    Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore

    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

    Every silver lining has a cloud around it
