Putting the pal in principal
Everyone makes mistakes. And copyediting mistakes are especially easy to make (AOA is ongoing proof of that). But this one, from a job listing for the Saratoga Springs High School principal position, is a tough one:
Perhaps the district is looking for a principled principal.
We took that screenshot Sunday evening. To the poster's credit, the listing was fixed today.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.

It's just astonishing how many communication's from are schools are misspelt.
Seriously, school types -- I'm supposed to accept your judgment of my child when you don't know the difference between "you're" and "your"? Grrrrrr.....

This reminds of the time I pointed out to the manager of the Saratoga Border's that the shiny lettering above the 'stationary' section was spelled wrong. An understandable mistake...maybe... but at a bookstore?

Didn't anyone ever teach them that your principal is your PAL?
