April 25, 2009: Spelling Nazis Win

After years of pissing and moaning, the spelling Nazis have won.
As reported by the far flung China Daily, 3news New Zealand, England's Mail Online, NPR, and numerous web sites, the town of Webster Massachusetts will finally correct the spelling on two signs for the local lake.



For years many people, myself included, thought it meant, "I fish on my side, you fish on your side, and nobody fishes in the middle".
But now that the correct spelling has been brought forward, it clearly means, "The fishing place at the boundaries, the neutral meeting ground".

I'm glad that's been cleared up.
