Required to have a spelling license in order to publicly display words in any way. Too many public spelling violations can result in loss of license.
Grammar licenses would be good, too.

The spelling license gets a croissant. My expected dismal failure on a grammar license test means that gets my fishbones though, so it'll have to stay as a big fat neutral. |

If I may approach the bench. The post by [sctld] concerning the licensing of people to use a computer is a pedant's nightmare. I demand the immediate revocation of his spelling license, your honour. |

I'll give it a croissant only if the pedant police flame war doesn't erupt here. |

Internet message boards and the like can apply for an exemption clause based on clientele. In that light, the half-bakery's exemption clause is hereby denied. |

Am I having some disagrees with your License For-to Commit Spellings. For Y you axis? Am thinking how verra organical and spicy is developing of English inna passed times (like Shakespeare), and sofore we should be liffing room for future developings. Imagine you if James Joyce, who commit mass-spellings very original in "Ulysses," is fine lotsa pounds for them! Is he being prettymuch broked out before publishment of it, I think. Think you of many other writers (Russell Hoban, ee cummings, Edward Lear, etc) that unconventionalize spellings and wordings. Adding to language many funny lingos and idioms are they! So for these reasonings I am suggest that License For-to Commit Spellings maybe include Poetic License as integral. Whatya think? |

But what about all the goofy signs that say stuff like "get you're food here" or "Don't let stress kill you, let the church help," what would we do without those? |

Rods Tiger: The 'you' for 'your' is one of my most common typographical errors. My fingers just seem to know that one and perform it whenever possible. When I see it in someone else's writing I just smile to myself; it's like an old friend. |
