Its a matter of a few letters!!

It was bold and clear "356C KEMPEGOWDA BUS STAND" in front of the bus. The cool Vajra bus had finally increased the font of the text that they display on the LED board which helps the commuters to know the route the bus is planning to take and which stops can they alight off the bus.  However, it was not just the new large font that had grabbed my attention.As the text scrolled i suddenly was shocked to see a new destination which i was unaware of till now :-). It read " ELECTONIC CITY".

For those how have not noticed it yet...Yes, the "R" is missing the word "Electronic City". Though it might have been a bit wierd situation if i had to explain the spelling mistake to someone new in the city, I still was content that there were a few other embedded engineers who were suffering the disease of mispelling words. But then, we all know about the study which showed that people could still interpret a word as long as the first and the last letters were spelled correct,which make "Electonic" == "Electronic". ( Sorry for abuse of the "C" syntax ).

So as lng as u r able to undrstd this line and not plnning to take prt in a spelldown contst it dos nt mattr if u eat a few lettrs...wht say?
