If my current gig goes south and I ever get tired of not having a real winter in St. Louis and confuse North Carolina for a real northern state, I could get a job proofreading street signs:
Pity the English teacher out for a drive, passing Raleigh street signs.
Russling Leaf Lane? That’s Rustling.
Sherrif Place? That’s Sheriff.
Chinquoteague Court? Misty lived in Chincoteague!
You can’t even scribble corrections in red spray-paint. The city would just scrub them off.
About a dozen Raleigh street signs display words that are flat-out misspelled.
Who am I kidding? There’s obviously no official sign proofreader position in Raleigh.
