Uh, Who's Duval?

050507_spellingbee.jpgWe've been sitting on this one a little bit because, well, nobody's perfect. But it was pretty funny that someone misspelled Governor Deval Patrick's name on a large construction sign in the North End. His name isn't that hard to spell.

RDA Construction, which is working on a waterfront project, misspelled the governor's name on the sign. And they'll fix it.

Perhaps someone just got finished watching a movie starring some famous Duvall's, such as Robert and Shelley, and they had it on the brain. But that still doesn't explain the "Duval."

However, we'd like to make RDA feel better by letting them know they're not alone. The Brockton Enterprise misspelled the name as well in this recent article. It's funny, and it can happen to all of us.
