Carmel or Caramel?

Carmel is a place in California. Caramel is a brown chewy candy.
The sign outside of my store says Caramel. This woman walks in with her family and says to me "you spelled Carmel wrong on your sign outside". I said no I did not. That is correct. She said "well I am a grammar teacher and its wrong". I said you better study up on what you teach because its spelled Caramel. LOL. She got mad and walked out. Thats the perk of owning your own business, you can fuck with people who fuck with you :)
Glad she is not teaching my child.

    she was a grammar teacher? I look at grammar and spelling as two different but related things....perhaps she should get her masters in spelling too then!
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    lol, it is pretty funny to open a thread bragging about your spelling abilities only to make a spelling error yourself...
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    A grammar teacher? Is there such a thing? I thought there were only English teachers.
