Do I nitpick? Am I intolerant? Have I raised the bar a few notches too high?

This morning I took Da Chimpz to their summer camp -- not the regular one, but the weeklong program being hosted by the local public school. I got them signed in and then strolled down the hallway to the exit. On my way I spotted something I had noticed last year when Cookie attended this program: on a mural depicting an undersea vista were engraved plates bolted to the wall providing the names of various creatures.

One such creature: the sea anemone.

The problem: they had spelled it "sea anenome."

Yeah, it bothered me last year too, but I was satisfied to have just a private laugh. I figured school would start up again in September and some young scholar would catch the error and go home with a gold star on his collar while a maintenance crew drilled out the erroneous label.

So much for local scholarship.

I also heard on the radio this morning that Cleveland's population continues to fall. Could it be the area schools that has people fleeing?
