Makes it easier to Photoshop all of the images of people misspelling words like "stop".

Those aren't paint, they are thermoplastic.. The letters come in pieces, are assembled on the surface, then adhered to the pavement by heating with a large rosebud until they melt.

Errors can be removed with a sidewalk plane, but that usually scars the surface.

That's whole language crap for you and no standardized testing. Not to mention accountability.

Imagine if doctors and engineers worked to the same standards.

For the most part I agree with Thomas Jefferson when he said that it is a man with very little imagination who can't spell the same word more than one way. But I'll take a shot at it. I believe the two words are spelled "any more". Alot of people spell it either way.

It never fails to amaze me how me people ask for "advise" on this forum instead of asking for "advice".

I thought this was going to be another rant about my own inability to spell correctly. I was then going to appeal to the Liberal sense of compassion and sympathy by proclaiming my own victim hood as having been educated in the CA school system.
