-Enlightening Banner-

The other day as i was stuck in a massive traffic congestion in Klang Town, this particular banner caught my attention.

It read; 2 ADJACEMENT SHOPS FOR RENT & contact numbers without name.


adjacement?

Erm, is there such a word as "adjacement"? Or perhaps my trusty old Oxford Dictionary is no longer trustable???

Well, gauging from both the shops side by side was empty, i think the word they are trying to use here is adjacent.

They (whomever it is) might have rented the shops out by now if they've checked the words carefully before printing it on a banner. Why? to avoid confusing potential renters by sending them to the dictionaries instead of course!
