Every time I see the word "Spoken."
« on: July 20, 2008, 11:29:02 PM »
I see "Spokane" and I think "wait that doesn't make sense." So I go back and re read it again and see it actually says "Spoken."


Yep when words look alike or begin alike, I get fooled. That's what I get for reading too fast. I can remember my aid telling me in high school, "No wonder you don't understand what you read."

I think it's more what you get for being freakishly obsessive about Spokane.

LOL Some music store guy few years ago  PURPOSELY put a bunch of records that said "The Beaters" on them because at that local store Beatles records are like the Nintendo Wii " Oh, sorry sold out!" So what a good way of getting every one to come into your store to look at your crap.

The Beaters were some black R and B band or somthing.

If you look at the name quick, you think it's The Beatles. I am sure lot of other people would make that same mistake.

However, mixing up spoken and Spokane on a regular basis takes quite a unique individual.
