This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Dreams Lome Tuer

Yesterday we were at the Stationers Shop in town and Nate pointed to a display box with the caption: Dreams Lome Tuer.
You see, in India, people try to follow the general shape of the letters when they're copying a word down and you can spell a word any way you like. Oops, forgot a letter? No sweat, just add it later - the order shouldn't make a difference. It is helpful if it is spelled somewhat phonetically, but let's be realistic, many people can't speak much less read English, so any way you spell it will do. It seems that simply having words is what matters. Can you figure out what English phrase inspired this caption?
