before anyone freaks out, those are the brit spellings with an S instead of a Z, i bet. i like the image... i like the text... it's a lot of text on a shirt however. i like how it's crowding out the image.

Very funny!

Ugly font.

haha i like the concept but i think it would come out clearer in a more business-like font. that one is overplayed anyways

I like it alot, but can't say I'd buy it unless it was printed in "American" English. I think I'd get too many comments about the spelling (despite it being technically correct in some parts of the English speaking world) which would detract from the design. I don't know how much of the Threadless customer base is British (or devoted to British spellings), but if the market is more US driven, I'd change the spelling.

It's nice to see a shirt that doesn't have American spelling. This shirt is ace, it should stay as it is.

don't worry about the spelling - there's a rather large land mass just north of the US that spells like you... one comment on the type you used though - use real handwriting or create the form by hand instead of using a typeface that mimics handwriting - it's more authentic and would help strengthen your concept - design is in the details. - great copy

this reminds me of how much work fricking sucks (so bad!)... which, oddly enough, is why i like the design. :)

i.. love... it. this better get printed!!!!

I agree with kremen that the text

should be in American English

so people will enjoy the design

without getting distracted by

its spelling.



Imagine casual Friday at work....



" Hey man, I like how the text is

squashing that corporate guy.

Oh, look there... it's misspelled. "



" No, it's not misspelled. That's the

non American spelling. "



" Uh... anyway, where's that report due hours ago ? "

^ um, i didn't mean the first question mark, i was just so excited my typing got out of control

For us Brits though, the spelling is fine and dandy. Leave it as is, no need to change it, we have to put up with Americanisations over here, so let them suffer for a change ;-)

Great shirt.



I think, however, the text should be spelled in the American English form. You must admit that the vast majority of Threadless buyers are American...I mean, they're based in Chicago.

Whoa. Do you work at my job? That's almost their vision statement word-for-word.



Which means, I could never in a million years buy this shirt. Great concept, though.

it should be left in proper "English"
taz-pie
taz-pie on Jul 30 '05
it would be interesting to find out the proportion of american vs REST OF THE WORLD buyers of threadless tshirts. i'm not american! anyone else agree that this is a fab shirt, and the spelling should be left as-is?

Its not the rest of the Worlds fault that American English is anally retarded. Keep this shirt as it is.

i am an american and i adore everything about this shirt, especially the spelling. let's try to broaden our narrow little minds, shall we? honestly, americans can be so pigheaded (though obviously not all)
