Death of Common Sense

The fate of Common Sense is in your hands…

Common Sense died as we entered the Naughties; six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment
for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, schools required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a
student, honor student expelled for having a table knife in her school lunch, a government plan to ban
inhalers from 14 million asthmatics due to a trace of a pollutant that may be harmful to the environment.
 
Common Sense gets resurrected here and now.

Passport office in need of spellcheck

Passport office in need of spellcheck

They Say:
“Israel’s national passport office could have done with a good spellchecker. First it stamped “Ministry of the Intrerior” in English in new batches of passports. Then it advised Israelis of the misspelling in a jumbled newspaper advertisement today that only compounded the mistake.

“Due to a technical error in some of the Ministry’s stampsthe document you received may have been stampedwith an flawed stamp”, the Interior Ministry said in a notice in the English-language Jerusalem Post. The newspaper said its advertising department was responsible for mistakes in the ministry’s ad, which urged people with the faulty passports to apply for new documents.”

We Say:
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the forward thinking nation of Israel!

How the fuck a speeling mistake like Intrerior can get past the first draft is beyond me… In fucking passports!!! It’s not like the mistake was in a brochure that’s going to collect dust at an airport….

Perhaps Israel should spend a little more dosh on their education programs or perhaps invest in a proofreader, their choice… Or they could funnel some money away from their Army…? But that’s for another rant…

    I’m hoping “speeling mistake” is meant to be ironic…
