The folks at All-American Auto Spa in Waynesboro ought to be ashamed of themselves for this misspelling on their wash-selection screen. It’s a real doozie, too.

So it could always be worse. At least in the car wash’s case, they may have looked like fools, but at least it was still operational.
Web site: Not entirely unrelated, but I think this article on spelling reform is pretty darn interesting...
