It's a case of bad grammar not spelling. And failed wordplay.Commandeer and Thieve is an action and it's Commander-IN-Chief not AND. Commandeerer-and-Thief would be a clever bit of wordplay on Commander-in-Chief but in this case they did fail but not because of their spelling skills. |

I don't get what's wrong with it. Commandeer is a word! If would make more sense if it was "thief" instead of "thieve." Oh well, it's not *that* bad. |

The only thing that I see wrong with the sign is the 'Commander and Cheif.' I see alot of people who are confused as to the second one. comâ‹…manâ‹…deer
  /ˌkɒmənˈdɪər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [kom-uhn-deer] Show IPA
Use commandeer in a Sentence
See web results for commandeer
See images of commandeer
–verb (used with object)
1. to order or force into active military service.
2. to seize (private property) for military or other public use: The police officer commandeered a taxi and took off after the getaway car.
3. to seize arbitrarily. And Thieve is obvious. This sign is not that idiotic. |

The only thing wrong is that it should be "Commander-in-chief," but then the second part would make no sense seeing that it'd be "Commandeer-in-thieve." |

And whilst thieve IS a word, it's a verb, not a noun, and thus contrasts with the first half of the sentence, but whatever. |

Anyone who's saying that the sign is "right", it isn't.There is no "commander and chief" it's "commander-in-chief". |

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the sign. It's actually pretty clever. |

The person that originally didn't get this, and thought the sign was a "mistake" is the real IDIOT!(slow clap) |

Yeah, umm... commandeer and thieve makes perfect sense. The only REAL problem with this is a lack of question marks. But anyway, who gives a poo? The point gets across. |

Plus, as others have pointed out, commandeer and thieve makes perfect sense. IAB is really stretching to start controversy to get those hits and comments up. |

Ummm...embarrassing is misspelled. Add that to "intellegent" and IAB has some humble pie to eat. |

No, genghis, "commandeer" is a correctly-spelled word. |
