Pet peeve alert, originally uploaded by Francesca….

While I applaud the city of Chicago’s attempt to be multi-cultural, I am disappointed and annoyed as hell that the Chicago Park District didn’t do their homework. In the photo on the right is a close-up of the Welcome sign that is found in, I’m guessing, all of the parks in the city. The word “Welcome” is expressed in several languages, one being Italian, and it’s spelled incorrectly!! On the sign, it’s spelled b-e-n-v-e-n-u-t-t-i. The correct spelling is b-e-n-v-e-n-u-t-i, with one T. Someone should have double-checked the proper spelling before spending God only knows how much money on these signs.  And this city wants to host the Olympics… how embarrassing.
