China is changing fast, but some things don't.
I don't know how much a massive road sign costs, like this one that I saw on the Municipal Road S 309 near Changxiaoying (長哨營滿族鄉) - part of Peking Municipality - but I think it's safe to say "expensive" (somebody told me that they need to have a foundation that goes almost as deep as they are high). Now I also don't know exactly how much it would cost to ask one of those eager foreign students at the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute to proofread, but I think it's safe to say "cheap". A British or German would probably do it for a chilled bottle of Yanjing Beer.
I am aware how difficult it is for Chinese to spell English (about as difficult as it is for non-Chinese to handle those characters) and I've been told that it's considered a "loss of face" to ask somebody to proofread. But isn't it even more embarassing to put up a huge sign that says "WASTEⱭ ISCRDING PROHIBITED" in public?
This was not in a remote province in the hinterland, but, as I said, in Peking Municipality. And it's not the odd one out - you will see hundreds of signs like this. There are forums about them on the internet and, of course, a group on Flickr. I've heard someone even wrote a PhD thesis about them. In the city of Xi'An there's a huge modern building which says "INTERNATIONAL COMIC & BUSINESS CLUB" in big black letters. Photo here.
So nice waking up naturally this morning (weekend, so Tim didn't go for a ride today, hence no need for an alarm). We cleaned most of the flat - Tim dusted and hoovered and I cleaned the bathroom - and I called my Mum this afternoon. Had a nice chat with her - she's really enjoying the William Boyd book I lent her, and was about to go and sit in the garden to read it. I sat out in our communal gardens later, too, to do a bit more proofreading of my old schoolfriend's book.
Tim cooked us a chicken curry for dinner - delicious - and I went out for a walk while he watched the F1 qualifying. Of course I had to go back to the pond for a gosling update! All five still present and correct (and actually very active shortly before I took this photo - whizzing about on the water and pecking around at the side of the pond, then suddenly, sleep!)

.... Circa 1862 interior view of the printing office, the high ceiling, walls and numerous windows make this room ideal for the fine work of setting type, printing and proofreading ....
Seriously, how can you miss such an obvious typo? Or maybe 'abuction' is something I've never heard of before...?
For the April MSH - Utterly Useless
who's just too busy to proofread. But I'm being snarky to The Creator, right? In truth, it isn't God who's tiresome, it's all these blinkered baptists who purport to have an inside track to what The Big Guy is thinking. They self-righteously scurry to get the message out there in your face, but fail to take the time to make sure it's spelled correctly.
There is, IMHO, a special corner of Hell reserved for them all. God told me.
Meditation. Pranayama. Lots of fun yoga business! I complete the flier for my upcoming positional therapy workshop and then create a workshop page on my website. It looks good! My first proposal for a continuing education class came up short so I send off an email to a different school with two ideas this time. Fingers crossed again. I post all my upcoming events to my town’s community page, trying to spread the word about Flow + Restore and the positional therapy workshop. I end by sending off emails to other contacts I’d like to talk to about my teaching, positional therapy, and different opportunities that might be available. Ok, ready for work and out the door. Work. The day is gorgeous and I keep looking longingly outside. On my way home traffic is so slow and I end up getting just half an hour on my mat before I need to be at the studio to teach. Class is so great. I always feel so happy there. It’s the end of the session so I attempt to plug my upcoming classes. I need to be better at selling myself. It always feels so inauthentic. I swing by DQ for ice cream for dinner. I get a banana split blizzard. Fruit and dairy. It’s health food. Home and onto the couch proofreading the newsletter and website for Gail. I make a few suggestions for improvements. Then I move on to drafting my own mailing to remind students of Flow + Restore, new session starts, my new private session offerings, and a little tease for the positional therapy workshop. What a wonderful day. Bedtime.

Oh, someone needs to be so very fired. Was there no proofreader? No one who glanced at the ad before it was sent out?
Karen got this in the mail, and that one word convinced her not to sign up for the magazine.
(And if it's supposed to be a pun, it's the worst placement ever.)
I'm not even sure what the message is about but if you are going to spend this much sending your political message out in the back window of your Caddy you should at least proofread it!

At the time I was leaving Junior school, the most recent printing of books for a visit soon to the school incinerator had just been made.
I just pity the typesetters that had to set and proofread this stuff.
