  • How Do You Read it?

    Posted by John Singh on 29 January 2004 at 14:15

    Just looking at Rob’s post about the size of A4 paper made me think of those words we sometimes glance at quickly and our minds read it differently

    For e.g.

    Ordering paper: 8Ogsm (Mind reads 8 Orgasm) (What’s on my mind? Needless to say I can’t order it ONE day 😆 )

    On the side of trucks: Specialists in Shopfitting (Mind reads: Specialists in Shoplifting)

    So are there any words you misread?

    Before becoming a poor signmaker I worked in printing and one of the old boys I worked with used to say 80gsm as jism as in “Hey Steve pass me a ream of 80 jism” 😆 😆
