2010 FIFA World Cup

The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa is just 34 days away and we can already see signs of celebration and euphoria. Flags, hats, mugs, t-shirts and soccer balls with the logo of the World Cup are all over the place ready to be bought and used. There are already people that make personalized items with the photo of the person that is going to use it. Also, personalized footballs with the image of the favorite player are also available to be ordered.

Some teams are a little upset with all the talking about the violence in South Africa but I hope they can play safely and fairly. Let the best win!

We have to be careful with some misspelling words that can have very “different” meanings. Yesterday I was reading some blog posts from other bloggers I know and there was a misspelling that pop up. I sent a message to the fellow blogger and immediately corrected the word, I would like to receive the same feedback if it was the other way around. She was saying: “We are moving to a new house where we will have an extenze backyard where I can grow my biological garden.” Well, she meant “extensive backyard”.

Misspelling happens and sometimes they are not caught in the spelling tool or we are in a hurry and press Publish before taking a close look at what we have just written.

She thanked me for telling her and she was quite ashamed imagining how many people had already read the post.
