If there is one thing that really bugs me, it is the need for childcare places to use "k" instead of "c" in the titles of their businesses. For instance, there is a place in Fresno called "Kiddie Kare". Really? The English language is hard enough for kids to grab with all the weird phonics rules, but now you are going to intentionally misspell a word in your title because you think it looks cute? Newsflash...It is lame. And why do childcare businesses only see the need to do this?
But today I saw one that really bugged me. I've started working in our Madera office on Monday and Fridays and I was about to pull into our office parking lot, I saw the sign: "Kiddie Kountry Club". What really stands out about this is that they used the "k" for "Country", but completely changed tactics and used a 'c" for "club" . If we're being consistent here, shouldn't it be "Kiddie Kountry Klub"? But of course, when they were brainstorming this genius idea, somebody probably stated you can't do that because then the initials will be "KKK". "no problem," somebody else said. We'll just not use a "k" with "club".
How about this idea: SPELL THE WORDS CORRECTLY!
Are there any others out there? Let me know.

What is this? a new post...I like it!
Shortly after FPU created their new contemporary-christian performance group the idea was thrown around of calling it "Krosswind." I have no idea why someone thought the
"k" fit there, but luckily they went with the traditional spelling.
I two hade it win werds our misspelet.
I'm with you, especially since spelling is the biggest part of my livelihood. I had a hard time buying appliances from Kustom Kitchens.
