"I before e except after c," the rules of English are quite complicated, but whoever painted "Yeild" at might want to use a dictionary next time.
Delia Garcia, Media Director for Walmart tells Patch, “The spelling error was discovered during a routine project review and was quickly corrected. Opening a new store is a major endeavor and we continue to work on final details in preparation for Wednesday’s grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The new Encinitas Walmart will create 250 new jobs in the region, increase access to affordable food, and help boost the local economy.”
