I'll Give You an F for Effort

I am aware that the word resurrection is a tremendously difficult word to spell. It's quite a long word. And if there are resurrections and insurrections, why don't we ever hear of plain surrections? That's a word that must exist even though spell-check thinks otherwise.

And so, since it's a tough word, I usually try not to get upset with people when they misspell it. But that rule goes right out the window when it's on a church sign. On the side of the road, for the world to see, I saw the following spellings of the word:
  • RESURECTION
  • RESSURECTION
  • RE-SSURRECTION (not even close)
Sigh.

Southern signs would be REZURREECTION.
Flower gardens might be
ROSERRECTIONS.
And Dorothy and Toto had an
OZERRECTION.
