Who is more annoying: the people who misspell it as “Snyder Plaza” or the people who mispronounce it as “Schnider Plaza”?

    Local politicians who spell it incorrectly on political mailings.

    As one whose name has been mispronounced my whole life, I’m going with Schnider Plaza. Annoying.

    Every time I hear “Schnider Plaza,” I think of the character Schneider from the late 70s/early 80s sitcom “One Day at a Time” and picture him wandering the plaza, performing routine maintenance on all of the stores.

    Mispronunciation of course. Snyder Plaza could be an homage to John Snyder the great actor. RAWR!

    People who get annoyed by things like this are more annoying.

    ramSAY,
    family members, mostly. But also a few ne’er do wells here and there.

    D – sounds like a vicious cycle of annoyance. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    while we’re at it:
    is it Boedeker or Boedecker?
    Thackery or Thackeray?

    does it really matter?

    Actually Kirstin, it’s called sarcasm. But thanks for your condescending thoughts and prayers, very christian of you.

  13. Kersten Rettig @ April 30, 2010 at 2:06 pm
    Back atcha, D. Looks like we both could both stand to dust off our sarcasm detectors.

    Like Dan, “Schneider” Plaza makes me think of the One Day at a Time handyman. Maybe they could do a sequel, starring Pat Harrington as the now elderly but still fiesty handyman who makes repairs around the Plaza.
    (Hey, I’ve see worse shows!)
