So what illiterate looks after the big signs on the Dartmouth side of the MacDonald bridge, the one that says that the MacPass price is going up to .70¢ on April 1
WTF? Seven tenths of a cent? Learn what a decimal is used for! —Babette

Good bitch! Flagrant typos are hilarious. 😀
(though I haven’t seen this sign, and it wasn’t in the news…. so maybe….)
Coming up on Live at Five – Slipped decimal point means we only paid the Black Eyed Peas $4.33 in compensation money. And now, here’s Whiz Grigney singing “I Believe I can Fly” during her 200 foot plunge into a bucket of hot fat.
“I believe I can AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
Woohoo. Those signs suck. By the time you get up to them, whatever they say is irrelevant. “Accident on bridge. Traffic delayed” doesn’t give you time to detour. By the way, how’s that drunk fuck who smashed into the toll booth?
if using a mac pass, who cares if it goes up a cent or two? really, this bitch is so not useful and lame. if that is the worst that will happen to you, in this life, be fucking real thankful.
where do some of these fucking people come from anyway, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit?
I don’t really understand the problem with the decimal ?? Seventy cents would be .70
Seventy cents would be $0.70, not 0.70₵. The proper way would be 70₵ with no decimal at all.
And why the fuck is there no ₵ key on keyboards!? Can we get someone on that please!
Because the ~ key is more important
Haha I saw that after I posted and I was going to write about my mistake but like you I couldn’t find a damn cent key
And we definitely need three different styles of brackets: () [] {}
i got me a € and a £ key
i have a mac so i cannae help you ✕♢☼
€ and £ > definitely kewl Anglo!
Meeee too! ❤
its a euro mac had it for years and it has never let me down. we should talk in windings.
✔〄♢…yowza
:0 c===8 .. oh wait . I thought we were.. Oh never mind.
the three different kind of brackets all have different functions.
( parentheses/math )
[ editorial interjection ]
{ prose option/music }
bracket nerd^^
this bitch is funny because, well, the other replies, but, who cares about the sign, it’s there, you know the real price but you spent more time bitching about the mistake than taking time for something more important, like blinking, scratching or maybe shutting the fack up!!!!! LMFAO!!!
