No K's allowed
KOA Neon sign. Cotopaxi, Colorado, originally uploaded by Vintage Roadside.
This will probably seem petty of me, but it drives me nuts when people spell words that normally begin with a "C" with a "K". I'm talking about the Kars 4 Kids people, the KOA Kampground people, and the Ku Klux Klan people. Yes, whenever I see something like that, all I think about is the KKK. Spelling C words with a K, to me, is inexorably linked with our favorite white supremacists. Much like you can't name a kid Adolf, you can't spell a C-word with a K.
By the way, what's up with this KOA Kampground? Wi-Fi? We used to go camping (or is it Kamping?) back in the 80's. We didn't have wi-fi, or even kitchenettes. We had a damn tent. Yes, I know they hadn't invented wi-fi in the 80's, but it's a campground - you aren't supposed to have wi-fi! I wonder if you can get a cell phone signal out there, too? Pansies.
