We know we live in a glass house here at F*** Yeah! It’s Sioux Falls! There’s probably a misplaced comma or a fudged fact to be found in everything we post. We get it. It’s hard to get all of the details right, and we’ll happily issue a retraction if you find fault with our writing. Journalistic integrity and all that!
That being said… how does this happen?
There’s a big-ol’ billboard on 41st shining a light on the encouraging services that the Volunteers of America has to offer: support services, like helping folks get the education and life skills they need to land a solid a job. Little things — like misspelling common words — can sink an application, and it’s great that organizations like the VOA are out there to help.
So you think someone would have spell-checked the copy on this one, that some keen eye would have caught it along the way from graphic design to approval to printing to hanging. But these things happen, so we’re not going to get self-righteous about it. That would be hypocrisy, the least-forgivable of all sins.
Yes, these things happen. Still, it’s funny when they do.
