Here's your sign.

[jinman]

I am pretty immune to seeing spelling errors on fast food signs and those portable billboards and such. I've seen so many that I just smile when I see one or point out the worst ones to someone for a good laugh. You know, the ones that say, "Applictions being accepted," or something similar. However, I am always astounded when I see professionally made highway signs or billboards with obvious errors.

A few years ago, I posted a picture of a new county line sign that was installed at the exit I take on the highway to come to my house. What I really thought was funny was that they removed a sign with the county name spell correctly and replaced it with one that was misspelled. The county name is Montague, not Montage. I called around until I found the people responsible for the sign, and within about three weeks, it was replaced with a corrected one. The fellow I talked to was pretty surprised and amused. I got the impression that he was going to "rub this in" on somebody in his office.

Now, not more than 1/2 mile up the highway, I saw this billboard yesterday and did a double-take. How could a professional sign company make this mistake? I told my wife that this was just "to" funny.

So, anyone else see any interesting signs? Got any pictures?

Years ago (20+-) there was a sign at the onramp for I-93N in Hookset, NH that read, 93 NOTRH. It was up for quite awhile.

Putting the "cool" in School!

Here is a website with 32 pages of misspelled words.

And technically spell check wouldn't pick up a grammar mistake like to and too.

My dad lives on "Sleepy Callis Road" which is named after his father in law.
The sign, replaced many times, currently says "Sleppy Callis Road" which really T's off my step mom. She said that if it's not fixed soon it will have a accident over the winter.

I've been there many times in the past 40 years; both before and since that rest area was built, including last month, since that's my wife's hometown, but if the flag was upside down, I didn't see it.
