Atlantic City Hard Rock Casino Installed a Giant Guitar With a Misspelled Word


Recommended Posts

Uh, make that two knobs, a pickup, a bridge, and a tailpiece...and a giant strap button, I guess...but I was impressed by how close the color of the structure (122 ft. tall) is to the factory finish on that model...

Must have been proofed by the guy who makes every...single...fucking...meme.

 

They ALL have misspellings.

That kind of misspelling dates back over 40 years.

The Atlanta Rhythm Section performed at a 1977 "Day on the Green" in Oakland; mobile housing was provided for individual bands, where the members could hang out before and after their performances.  The sign on the trailer provided for the A.R.S.  read “Atlanta Rythem (sic) Section”, according to Rodney Mills, who ran the sound at live shows at that time. He kept the misspelled item as a souvenir because nobody else wanted it.

I think the misspelling of "rhythm" probably dates back to shortly after the creation of the word "rhythm."

Dante, the Italian poet, famous for Paradiso😎,  Pergatorio 😗 and Inferno 👿 (fairly heavy reading if I'm honest) is credited with inventing the "Italian" language. Before Dante, Italian had no spelling per se but was a phonetic language so you pronounced every letter you saw. The English language has oddities within it, that means it is not logical. Having said that, Dante was a poet 800 years ago so English spelling no matter how odd should have been mastered by now and there is no excuse for anything of this importance being wrong. Sack him.

I do always have to think about it each time I write it. Avoiding it right now to avoid thinking.

In this age of digital content, media, and communication (and increasingly lower standards), the person who made that error will "prolly" not "loose" his job.
