What I get a kick out of is that EVERYTHING looks funny, and sometimes downright wrong, if you just study it long enough. Like Ken's four words......
Not on the subject but a funny happening: Called a customer today, who had insisted to spell her Restaurant's name "Jacob's Seefood". She said, "when people come in they see food. That's what that is all about, lady, and get over your hangups about spelling" Oh, I said meekly, so it's not Seafood you're selling, like in fruits of the ocean? Yes it is - she said - like I said, get over it.

I once had a plumber that needed his "License" # on his job site signs. I checked all the spelling on the signs (30 of them) and delivered them. He insisted "License" was spelled wrong,( he said it was "licence") until I pulled out my drivers "license" and showed him the spelling.

For me the word is rhythm / rhythms I am a good speller and I have good rhythm but I always have to check this one out. Gotta watch out for Titivillus pokin his nose in.
