I read the Mimi Smartypants blog. She's an editor or something. I'm not really sure what she does but I am sure of what she is: hilarious. In one post she writes about the back of a Wheat Thins box and points out that although someone bothered to use a semi colon correctly, they didn't end the sentence with a period.

I thought that was funny and I appreciated the observation. For some reason, finding little things like that sends a charge of triumph through me. She might not be that petty but I am.

So you can imagine how it felt the other day when the guy from Comcast handed me a High-Speed Internet Self-Install Kit and I looked down at the box.

I've provided you with another, larger view.

See anything strange about it?

How about their new way of spelling the word "seperately?"

Immediately, a Google search response flashed before my eyes:

Did you mean: separately

Lately Comcast is getting a lot of exposure for using Twitter. I think it's premature. They haven't even started using Spell Check.

And I hear Comcast customer service is winning awards, but I'll tell you what: they won't be winning any spelling bees. Ironically enough, over the last year Comcast has sponsored a few spelling bees. That's okay, as long as they don't participate in them, but I was thinking maybe they should consider recruiting a few of the winners. Check it out here and here.
