this is so internet passe, but clicking on the link to this lady’s other regretsy worthy item actually caused me to literally laugh out loud as I exclaimed “oh my god!”
Someone buy this, and when you receive your package — write down her address. Go to a thrift store, get a cheap old paperback dictionary, & mail it to her, please!
Are they for real??? This either they need to add spellcheck to etsy or this person is a master of marketing-way to corner the market on dumbassed hey i’m a hick who can’t spell for shit shit!

#25 SKULLY- about 8 inches here- just had a Blizzard that shut down I35 from Albert Lea, MN to Des Moines,& Iowa and all the Hwys around here- 2 days before 1/4 in of freezing rain- avatar is pic of some of our land
I just don’t understand the A thing. Even if you look at her shop description she capitalizes the A’s. Does she think it’s like I? I feel so sad for her lack of education, regretsy really should take on illiteracy.
I called in my husband (who does woodworking) to tell me what HE thought was wrong with the sign. He looked & after a moment said, “What’s the ‘U’ for?”
He read the description and some of our comments and then said: “When I make something like that, I make sure I spell it right. Or I get A DICT-SHUN-ARY!”
**this is a man who suffered a massive stroke almost 15 years ago**
“Welcome to JulieannasCreations. I offer handmade handpainted creations.You can find great gifts for family and friends even A little something for yourself.I try to have many different things to pick from that I hope you will enjoy.This esty shop is A dream of mine. I have always wanted A shop of my own with my crafts in it.”
PS- if there was an “A” for effort (pun intended) Skully would get it…I think that comment about contacting this nut deserves the “Regretsy Comment of the Day” ribbon, don’t you?
You know what? I looked at her profile and then looked up Floydada Texas in Wikipedia. It stopped being funny, despite the fact that Spanky Assiter came from the town (no kidding), because more than a quarter of the population is below the poverty level. Props to the seller for finding a way to try to earn a day’s (or a week’s) groceries. Despair and hunger affect spelling skills, and are often spawned (and sadly, perpetuated) in an environment where education is held in low regard.
#6 Orlana – I tried to find a national literacy charity after the ‘Know question is to dumb’ quote from a seller mired in the Philly school system… it kept gnawing at me… but I couldn’t find one. Each state, county and city seems to have its own, limited initiatives. They’re probably more and more intrinsically useless the more substandard the school system, and the more the populace discounts book larnin’.
@theOldGuy–
Put down that violin! The only demographic which obviously spends a few hours to make a lame $8 sign is a retiree with nothing better to do.
@theOldGuy – I am with you all the way to the part where she manages to load her stuff on the computer and sell it online. If you can do that you can go to http://www.merriam-webster.com/
Spelling is a huge pet peeve of mine. I’m not perfect and I don’t know how to spell everything but my browser has spell check, I check on M-W.com, I google words or I’ll check in Word. If you have a computer there are so many options to see if you’re spelling a word correctly.
…That said I do think that volunteering or donating to a literacy organization is a great thing. Whenever I’m at my local library I see the flier asking for volunteers to teach adults to read and I wish I could sign up. I have two small kids and I’m on a pretty short leash. Snarking on Regretsy is about as much as I can get away with right now.
Unfortunately that protective finish would prohibit one from buying the sign, making the spelling correction in red paint and mailing it back to the seller.
#74 ThisJustMakesMeSad: Being from Texas does not guarantee you can spell. Speaking of which, Mozilla just spell checked my post and I realized at 37 years old, living in Texas, I still cannot spell “guarantee”. F*ck.
Maybe she really internalized the rule about capatilizing “I” as a word, but then became confused as to which vowel the rule applied to. Nah, that’d be giving credit for identifying vowels.

#3 Skully,
I’m thinking this should be the next charity for Regretsy. Something to do with literacy. These adults were once children.
January 28, 2010 at 9:43 am
Maybe it’s a gay thing. Maybe it’s supposed to read, ‘love one and out her’.

Hi, love your shop!
I was woundering, cold you make me a custoum sign that reads “Love one anouther, tell the end of time”? (For my wife for Valentimes Day.)
Thanks!
January 28, 2010 at 9:46 am
Cynical bastards! Don’t you understand? It’s just not the same without u.
And, yes, I crack myself up.

You would have thought she would have been more careful after being featured once on Regretsy.

I don’t have A table or A shelf.
I have a table and a shelf… where can I buy the specialized A-table? And how would this sit on an A-table? Isn’t the top all pointy?
