  Years ago I snapped a photo of the 44 which said "Baddard" on it. I should find that pic!
• trigger.cut
  I remember that picture (or one very similar) found its way to the seattle community on livejournal accompanied by racist commentary.
• HeatherHeather

• Edog
  I think this bus would be much more popular if it said Free Ballard!

  I used to think that several coworkers would type "Freemont" instead of "Fremont", because they were originally from California and didn't know how WE spelled it. I just chalked it up to my being a native, and those poor outta-state newbies just didn't know any better.
  
  But then, I realized that California spells it the same way that we do.
• Black_Sheep
  Too funny, chef - I just went through the same thought process when I saw this post...

  but the driver should be from seattle and i would hope (mortified if not) that they would have somewhat of an idea of where they're at in this city.
• Rob
  The reality is the driver could be from wherever, they might live in Kent or Redmond or something or even commute from Tacoma.
  
  That having been said it isn't like the *driver* actually types in the words that pop up on the display. They just set the route and direction, a technician or mechanic updated the database with the wrong spelling.
  
  Also, kim - just out of curiosity, what kinds of hiring quotas are you referring to?
• Fauxnothing
  Oooh, Rob, do you really want to know the answer to your question?
• larsoftheb
  Why should we worry ourselves over the strange spellings of foreign lands?
• NoraBell
  Ha! You guys are on a roll today. Thanks for the entertainment.
• barelyballard
  The best typo I've ever seen was "poopulation" instead of "population" in an academic journal.
• milo_dakkat
  ...or Feminisim on the cover of Ms. Magazine.
  
  Ah, but who needs those pesky education budgets anways since nobody reads or writes any more.
• sdrake1958
  It should read "Freakmont". Much like a box of granola, it too is chock full of nuts and flakes.
• demian

• eric
