"Spellcheck in Dairy"

Today, my grocery day, as per usual, I stopped by the dairy section to get milk and yogurt. I just about died when I saw this sign posted on one of the doors right in front of the Yoplait yogurt. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to take a picture of it (I only had my phone with me, sorry about the quality) and blog it.




Look, again at this sign. It is in front of the Yoplait yogurt. Even I didn't notice the "Yoplat" part of this sign until I got it here to blog. I noticed only the "yogert" part. How does one work in a grocery store, make these signs on a computer and still misspell these words? Seriously, these people are able to drive a car, procreate, and vote! Where did this person learn to spell? I understand typos, we all do them, which makes the Yoplait misspelling understandable. But "yogert", seriously! The "e" and the "u" are nowhere near each other on the keyboard so a typo is ruled out. This just kills me.

Whoever made this sign obviously was not a benefactor of the No Child Left Behind Act. Maybe, just maybe, the sign has been changed by now and a corrected sign is up on the door. Let's hope, shall we?
