Spellcheck!

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: A mate of Milking It’s was recently walking down the main street of the hub of the Horowhenua, Levin, when he saw a ‘pop up shop’ designed to show locals the new toll road bypass from Otaki and past Levin.

Being a tad curious, he started to read the signage in the window, which has been there apparently for several months.

Great idea, they thought, but pity about the spelling. NZTA (Waka Kotahi) states that work is due to “STARRT in 2025”. It seems that despite having a colony of ‘comms’ people in NZTA, none can use spell-check or proofread.

Maybe Transport Minister, Chris Bishop, needs to get his CEO to employ an official spellchecker so we don’t see signs in the future that read “Bee wear – rode werks a hed” .
