Perception is everything though.
People looking at that sign may not choose the Real estate agent because they appear sloppy on detail.
That mistake would cost money IMO.

When something is interpreted as a good omen, many people say/write "it all goes well for the future" when they really mean "it augurs well for the future".

Re: The Spelling Thread
In 18th century England, a certain unraced thoroughbred colt was known to the stable boys as Potato. The owner asked one of the boys to write the horse's name on a feed bin, and the lad, barely literate, scrawled 'Potoooooooo'; the amused owner registered the horse under this name, and that is how it appeared in early versions of the UK Stud Book. Later keepers of the Book abbreviated the name to Pot-8-Os.
Incidentally this was a very famous horse whose name can be found in the extended pedigrees of many champion Australian racehorses.
