The state of U.S. education in two words.

I was just cutting my grass and a car passed by with the following phrase painted on the back window.

GO SENOIRS!

Some lucky college or university will have this student next fall.

P.S. The good news: Very neat lettering.

I went to American public school for two of my years of high school. I never took me no foreign languages, but I think senoirs is one of them Belgian words. It is pernounced sin-wahs in Flemish.

Don’t you recognize the French reflexive verb “se noir?”

Je me nois
Tu te nois
il/elle se noit
nous nous noissons
vous vous noissez
ils/elles se noissent

It roughly translates “I make a nut out of myself, you make a nut…etc.”

picky, picky. Just because they stuck an “s” on the end.

I work for a social-service agency which provides services to seniors, and I type “senoirs” at least once a day, despite having been a professional writer and copy-editor.

Senoirs is prettier anyway.

Ha. I’m to smart too make typos.

I’ve herd it said that knever making a typo is representative of being inflexible and not taking too-well to chagnes in life.

Well, when next you find yourself working at Burger King, it will be a comfort to know that you’re flexible and take well to changes in life.

Sheep? Sheep do not make typos.

I’m sure of it.

We don’t.

Never.

A good harvest this year one trusts! :wink:

Don’t even get me started.

Typos - mio? :smiley:

When I was in graduate school, you can figure out how many years ago, at one of the nation’s allegedly finest universities, this was painted onto the side of a new building:

US OUT OF NICARAGAU

The best part was that the way it was removed, probably wire-brush, it left a virtually permanant impression of said letters. I’m just glad that the Romans didn’t find the perps and make them write it correctly 100 times.

Not nearly as pretty as the senoiras.

I came into this thread thinking that it would be a ressurection of the “Deferred Success” thread topic :laughing:

Go Senoirs! Nveer qiut, neevr defer sucsses! :smiley:

Denny, when you posted this photo, I bet you were thinking of “heard” and not “herd” as used in a previous post. This is why we all need editors. I can reread something that I have written, and I never see the mistake in spelling or grammar. Just as soon as I push the “submit” button, the error stands out like a sore thumb. At least, my word processor program gives me a hint that something might be wrong.

On my daughter’s first day in preschool, when she was about three years old, she walked in, took one look at the box labeled “Mr. Potatoe Head” and said “what is that, the Dan Quayle version?” Precocious little tyke. :laughing:

What’s this, then? “Romanes eunt domus”? People called Romanes, they go, the house?

Ah, yes.
I heard a herd of sheep go by.
Or
I heard a herd of sheep go baaa.

I use outlook’s spell checker a lot. I, obviously, just fake the context…
