Dear Editor, Another reason to get rid of the digital sign: our police officers cannot spell. Somebody lend the police at Arorangi an English dictionary so we don't have to look like uneducated fools to our overseas visitors. Yesterday, there in giant digital letters in front of the Arorangi police station: "Beware of thiefs and burglars. Lock up".Can someone please tell the police the plural of thief is thieves. And so near a primary school too.Maybe they should ask one of the 6 year olds next door how to spell the word. Stop Visual Pollution (Name and address supplied)
