There's no 'D' in Inigoes...

[spicy]

Just a friendly lesson in Proper spelling -OR- how not looking like an idiot to people who know better.


St. Inigoes. It's almost like you're saying 'In it goes.' But you say it fast and drop the t. I know we can do it if we come together and try! Inigoes! Yay! No relation to the cash crop of colonial times! Today maybe a few people will know the difference!

 

[nachomama]

Are we having a bad day?

 

[kwillia]

You are no fun. I bet you bust on people for checking books out of the "libary" and giving out hearty "congradulations" to those with good news...

 

[spicy]

Ah I can't win! I'm trying to be as positive and as upbeat as possible here and I still get red karma. Is voluntary ignorance still bliss? I guess for these miserable red karma giving people, that's all they can cling to is their false sense of ignorance when they know they are wrong but they don't want to know the right answer. That's pathetic.

Thanks. You see, I see the humor in your words. Our resident red karma givers don't get it.

 

[mizteresa1965]

I've always said "In-i-goes", "Out-i-goes"............that's always helped me remember.

I know it sounds a lil warped, but oh well.

I will admit, I go when people say "Chapticon". Um, it's spelled, "C-H-O-P-T-I-C-O-N"...Where do they get the 'a' from?

I agree. When you give your information to the clerks at a doctor's office or some other office, it's very common for them to try to spell it with a D. I've even seen lifelong St. Mary's County residents misspell it that way.

Try living in Avenue.

Receptionist: Your address please?
You: ***** Suchnsuch Street, Avenue, MD
Receptionist: And the city?
You: Avenue
Receptionist: No, the city.
You: The city IS Avenue
Receptionist: So what's your street address? -OR- Really??

I don't get worked up over the misspelling. I just find it a little strange, as if many of my fellow countians have not seen the town on a map.

So true. So many of the smaller towns were named way way back in the day, so they were probably misspelled at the time and it just stuck.
