Spelling isn't the most important thing in the world, but you'd think surveyors of all people could get it right between sight and site. I've noticed several people get it wrong in the last few days.

For reference,
PLACE: job site, web site
LOOKING: beautiful sight, eyesight, foresight, backsight
QUOTE: cite the regulations

Funny, I was just looking at a record plat that had "10' x 70' and 35' x 35' site triangles required at all intersections".

You can also add the use of:

Past.........Passed
Their........There
To......Too........Two
Your.........You're

It is amazing how often you see these words misused on the internet. (And I will not go into how, among some surveyors, ALL surveys are "topos"!! THEM: Hey, I need you to do this topo. ME: Do we have a good TBM to come off of for the elevations or do you want me to use the OPUS elevation? THEM: Oh, we do not need any elevations, we're just showing the property and buildings. ME: AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGH!!)

Hindsight ?

I hope you are not trying to incite a verbal riot.

Just be aware that if you have 3 lots off one side of a short cul-de-sac you would have a back site, mid site and fore site.

Mispronunciation kills my ears.

Toppo vs topo, for example.
Mets and bounds
