Warning: you are now in Western PA

I love Sarahmac in no small part because of her ability to communicate with the written and spoken word, so it's always difficult to resolve her odd spelling and pronunciation errors with her otherwise amazing facility with the English language.  It's one thing to understand that this is due to growing up in western PA, but another thing to be confronted with visual evidence of *why*.

Here is a sign along the line into Kennywood's Jack Rabbit:

At first I thought the sign was simply wrong, but then I realized that the 'E' was a different color from the other letters.  Let's get a closer look at that:

Holy cow.  That 'E' is a sticker pasted over a whited-out 'A'.  The sign was shipped with it spelled 'separated', until some local "corrected" it.
