Taft (tough) Spelling Errors Along Taft Avenue

An occasional slip of the tongue ... or a slip of the pen is normal and is quickly forgiven by the person listening or reading... that is ... if they even notice it. Even when they do, most people most of the time will recognize a slip of the tongue or pen for what it is and realize that what you meant to say or write ... is not what you did say or write.

Okay, the public has been a forgiving bunch.  But for LRT management to be complacent with their spelling errors and dismiss and rationalize it as "tao lang ... nagkakamali din" ... for a big company who have been remiss with their syntactic responsibility ... it speaks volumes of what kind of leaders they have.

The glaring "investagation" anomaly is maybe small to some ... but it will surely haunt them in the weeks to come --- NBI in Taft Avenue take note. Your name and your agency is slaughtered. MUCH!

Slip of the Pen

 If you are a grammar police who usually gets irritated and cannot stand your penchant for the use of the fractured King's language ... incoherent sentence structure and semantics ... mind-boggling syntax and word coordination ... this nook is not for you. 

But traveling from Aparri to Jolo ... we encountered signage in the streets that managed to put a smile on our faces ... even though Robin Padilla's grandiose display of bad opinions ... or China's flexing his superpower muscle ... has riled up and angered our tender sensibilities.

We are here to celebrate (not mock) the little cracks and flaws in the manner we communicate ourselves. All of us make mistakes ... and at a time when a kilo of rice at 20 pesos is next to impossibility ... we need a little outlet to have a hearty laugh.

And no matter how over-use the cliche goes ... Laughter is indeed ... the best medicine.

(Scene at the music pub)

The singer almost choked to death when she received a song request (written on a piece of a table napkin) from the audience declaring his fondness for his favorite love song performed by an all-female pop band ... the Bangles.

Obviously, he meant Eternal Flame ... but goodness gracious ... he wrote Eternal Phlegm.  It is almost like he is saying Plemang Walang Kalunaslunas ... o baka may TB na yan?

See the negative outrage from the local band caused by your homonym deficiency ... and who can blame them for reacting that way? It is repulsive ... let alone ... disgusting!
