People have been crossing the Goethals Bridge between Staten Island and New Jersey for decades, so they definitely noticed when a new guide sign went up and something didn’t look quite right.
A green, diagrammatic guide sign that recently went up on the New Jersey-bound lanes of the Staten Island Expressway had a misspelling on it.
The white letterings had two letters swapped places and they read “Geothals Bridge.” …

The bridge probably identifies as Geothals so it’s ok.

A while back we had a sign: 51nd Ave.
They did however fix it after a while.

It’s a global warming threat warning. Geothal is code for Geothermal.

Wonder if this was done by a person who’s first language is not English.

Speaking of NY bridges and ‘Rat cronyism, read an interesting piece recently:
The Tappan Zee is built in just about the WIDEST cross section of the Hudson River - ie, the most costly. The reason? The Port Authority oversees a 25mi radius of the Statue of Liberty, where a very narrow part of the Hudson would make building a bridge north of NYC a cinch. But, the gov (dewey I believe?) forced it to be a mile or two north of that so that NYS would collect the coveted tolls rather than the Port Authority.
And now you know the rest of the story!

Maybe they’ve misspelled the nuclear codes under Biden’s control.

My all-time favorite two-letter swap was at engineering school in 1972. I changed the Nuclear Engineering Department sign to Unclear Engineering. It lasted a week before somebody noticed it.

Wait until the covid distance-learning kids hit the job market.To the extent the kids have been partially dislodged from the indoctrination centers posing as schools, they'll be smarter.
