Pointing out and making fun are two different things.  Your time is so valuable that you cannot check your spelling before posting, but everyone else is supposed to just deal with it?  No one expects perfection, but to continually make posts filled with misspelled words is without excuse.  If you don’t have the time or want to make the effort, don’t waste our time by posting.  We’re not talking rocket science here.

Off the soapbox now.

this is all pointless. if you mis-spell something, right on, good for you. if you understand the word, and notice a mis-spell, have a laugh, and move the fuck on. hell, you can spend all day laughing at it, if it makes you feel better.
I guess proof reading would help too. (the extra "o" makes the word mean "also")

Also, the misspelling of "every" in my last post would be considered a spelling error, not a grammatical one.

One tpyo is an accident, two mispelings are a trend, and a turd one is a problem. Bad grammar bad too.

it is impossible to mis-spell anything when you make words up more often than the rest of us change socks.

None of us have unabridged dictionaries to check them, assuming those words are in it. Someday, I may make a list and check the Oxford.

To get back on track here, the Town Pavilion use to have one heck of a food court.  It had two levels of seating and on many days it would be hard to find a seat between 12:00 and 1:00.  It's food court was better and busier than City Center Square's.  Town Pavilion also had very busy retail areas.  With the food court on the upper floors people had to go past the retail area to get to the food.

One thing that may be hurting the getting out at lunch time is the lunch hour.  For many people it is now the lunch half-hour.

Another is direct deposit.  On paydays people were scrambling to get to the bank.  Now, there is no need to get out.

And how many people now just put a frozen dinner in the microwave and eat at the break area for lunch?
I may be right.  I may be wrong.  But there is a lot of gray area in-between.

When you spell check "maby" the alternative of "ma by"  is offered but not the correct spelling of "maybe". I don't write spell check programs. Sorry. I suspect your post about my supposed spelling ability  is nothing more than childish retaliation against me for exposing you in another thread, where I had more than a few people agreeing with me. What does my spelling have to do with One Kansas City Place? Do you think you have wasted enough energy on something as irrelevant as the spelling of "maybe"? I went through and read a history of your posts. I was hard pressed to find a post with any substance to it. It would seem the only posts you make are ones attacking people personally. Why don't your try and offer something constructive for a change? Perhaps something related to a topic?

Whats up with the lighting on the south side?  Other sides still red, white, and blue, but south has a shifting kinetic purple.

I saw that last night, too.

It looked like a cross between the Marriott lights and the P&L experimental lights that were up in December.

must have been a short-term thing today. i'm looking out my window now and it's still RW&B on the south side.

maybe they are coordinating the h+r block, the marriott, P&L, the president hotel in some sort of moving light display set to mannheim steamroller...
