Maybe they actually skeet in their burritos.

It’s really depressing how illiterate people in this country are. But it makes for wonderful comedy!

I hate the use of “thru” instead of through. How hard is it to get it right?

In Soviet Russia Burrito Eats Your Skeet!

Where is this? I want gas for $3.08 a gallon.

 
Comment by Kelli

I’m not sure categorizing something where someone obviously messed with the letters after the store put them up really counts as a fail…

 
Comment by Jason

‘Thru’ is actually the American variant for ‘through’. It’s part of the Noah Webster tradition of changing American English so that it is not British.

I know a few McDonald’s workers. That sign is very accurate.

Are you sure the fail isn’t with the gas price? :)

Comment by Jimminy

You guys actually change English just so it’s not British?! You lie. It’s obviously to make things easier to spell. Obviously it messes around with derivatives (how do you get cenTRal from cenTER?) but hey, most of you can’t spell your watered down version of a proper language, so let’s not get into all the reasons why American ‘English’ sucks. It’d take forever, and I’d lose you halfway THRU

The sun has set on what’s left of the britass empire.
Jimminy, You can take it on the chin or up the ass - Frankly we don’t care. Toodles bitch.

 
 
Comment by John

People in the rest of the English-speaking world are actually familiar with ‘thru’ - McDonald’s uses that spelling on all its stores. There’s no attempt at all to adopt local practices.

In my more cynical moments, I see it as “cultural imperialism”

 
Comment by Kelly

Ha.. erm, I’d rather not. Well,nevermind, I’d eat a skeet burrito for 3.08 gas, lol.

Um…Jimminy? If you can drop the “e” off the end of “centre,” certainly we have every right to take it out of the middle.

I’m studying lingustics, and I find it kind of offensive to say that American English is not a proper language, by the way.

Comment by Lenore

In my opinion there’s no real “proper” way to speak a language since there’s so many dialects. It’s just what works best for the population speaking that language. For example, I have a friend from Argentina who tried to speak Spanish with a guy from Columbia and he could barely understand what the guy was saying, the dialects were so different. To say that, oh, the only proper way to speak English is the British way, or the only proper Spanish is the kind they speak in Spain, the only proper French the kind they speak in France, etc, etc, is a bit ridiculous and elitist.
