    I’ve seen two (yellow) shoulder bags now, with the motif ‘Sieze the day” in gothic writing. Am I missing the point here or is someone marketing misspelled merchandise?

    You’re right, it should be “carpe diem”.

    Unless you’re spelling seize

    When the sound is eee

    and then seize is an exception

    What Folk band?

    I guess this transposes and translates as Crape Diem

    Crêpes Diem, given that it’s nearly pancake day?

    GQX??

    I saw one of those ‘Sieze the day’ rucksacks at half price on the market.
    I nearly bought it as an impulse purchase, but then decided to go home and think about first.

    yeah, but is the misspelling deliberate?
