Photo Evidence: Find That Typo

Beth Novey

NPR editor person and general pal Beth Novey sends this picture of a typo in Washington, D.C. I'm calling it "Unchecked Baggage."

Maybe that's a fancy way of pronouncing "luggage". You know, like some people pronounce Target "Tarjay"? =)

My pet peeve is "ducked" tape. It gets to me every time.

And doesn't it strike anyone as odd that they would sell African Art amongst all the other items for sale? T-shirts and African Art? Seems random to me.

As a former neighbor of this store, I can attest that this is not just a store that sells both African Art and "lugguage" -- this is a store that seems to routinely stay open late into the night. So it's not just a place that caters to individuals who want to get their African Art and "lugguage" in the same place -- but also want to get these items at 11:30 pm on a weeknight. So weird.
