Nick Griffin made me think. Oh yes he did. About puns.
While there may be several situations in which a pun is a bad thing, one of the worst must be when it just makes people think you can’t spell.
When Griffin wrote the following on Twitter yesterday, my first thought was “he can’t even spell Cameron right?”
But hang on! Could that be ca-moron? Geddit? Moron? You tell me.
Was it:
a) shoddy spelling?
b) a pun?
Cast your votes!
Oh, and while we’re at it. I have a similar issue with a company called Aforedable Golf, whose sandwich board sign stopped me in my tracks the other day. I know they meant it. They just shouldn’t have.
