We all make errors, and sometimes, those errors can make us look like idiots. Especially when that error gets published out in the world, even though it likely went through a host of gatekeepers to get there. And that's why we're here. To shame those gatekeepers with an internet scarlet S. I don't expect you to be perfect. It takes a village, and every village has an idiot. But for the sake of your company's reputation, hire a village that has at least one member THAT CAN SPELL.

A child's eyes

My friend HC spotted this on a child's toy, and sent it to me with the simple admonishment: "Proofread your toys, y'all. Come on." She's totally right. Check it out.

I mean, seriously? We're just going to go ahead and spell things incorrectly on children's toys now? Because they can't read, right? So, whatever? That's fantastic. Maybe we should stop protecting them from other things. Like no more car seats, because they don't drive. Ooh, no more child safety caps because the medicine isn't prescribed for them. Yeah! Because kids are never curious, and they never pick things up when you're not looking.

HC included a second picture, so you can see how often this decal appears on the plane.

Because if there's one thing I know about parenting, it's that reinforcing a bad idea is always smart.

Wait, what?

OY.

(Thanks, HC!)
