Virtue is spelled Virtue
Virtue is spelled Virtue Virtue is spelled Virtue Virtue is spelled Virtue By Maeve Maddox Looking for tips on how to remove wallpaper, I found this headline on the HGTV page: How to Remove Wallpaper: Patience Is a Virture Curious to see if this was a common misspelling, I did a Google search and came up with 133,000 hits for virture. Many of them were from comments and forums where people often type quickly and may be forgiven for typos. Most occurred in the adage patience is a virtue. However, numerous examples of the misspelling occur in contexts in which the correct spelling was almost certainly in front of the writers eyes. Is A Virture Bags, Tote Bags, Messenger Bags This example is from an ad selling printed tote bags. The bags are printed with a message that says something or other is a virtue. The word is spelled correctly on the bags, which are pictured under the misspelled header. I dont knowwhen they decidedto make a virture out of SELFISHNESS. This quotation, presumably copied from a speech, appears on a political ad. Interview with Ronald Sandler, Author of Character and Environment: A Virture-Oriented Approach to Environmental Ethics This heads an article at the Columbia University site. The title on the pictured book cover is Character and Environment: A virtue-oriented approach to environmental ethics. Love Is a Virture This is a photo caption under a picture of what appears to be a poster. The words Love is a Virtue are on the photo itself. Copying words correctly is a virtue.
