Bumper sticker citation!

I love u nhel-ly. That is the phrase that I saw on a back window of a car as I was driving back from Target today. Now here are all my problems with this. (1) U instead of you (2) Nhel-ly. I'm assuming that the name is Nelly. Or did that person's mother actually add an h to Nelly? And did there have to be a hyphen? Clearly they are not spelling completely phonetically, because if they were love would have been spelled luv. (3) And this is the biggest problem. When I typed this I typed it in the correct direction, but the way it was displayed was a mirror image. I think he/she must have pasted the decal on the inside of the car instead of the outside of the car. Sort of the way it looked was yl-lehn u evol I. Except not exactly because the letters were facing the opposite direction. Were they displaying the decal for the people inside the car? If so, why even bother? Why not just put it up in your house? Or are they just really stupid? Or both? I'll freely admit that I have a problem with things on ones car anyway, but even outside that this is just dumb. And I want to find the person who named their kid Nhel-ly. I would kind of like to be the stupidity police. I would just hand out citations when I see a clear violation of good sense. Wouldn't that be fun? Well a girl can dream.

I went to a Japanese spa this afternoon and had a great soak in a hot bath. So now I'm very relaxed. And I spell like cucumber and rosemary. Today was a great day off.

Relax don't do it.

OK, as I read the sticker, I wondered if this person loved more than one person -- you and hel-ly? But then I wondered, who would name their child "helly" and even more, who would spell it "hel-ly". As for the rearview mirror approach to your own sticker, well, that's plain psycho.
