A few years ago the Washington Independent School District made up a bunch of bus signs that said, “DC Schools is great! Go to class. It a blast.”

What's wrong with that? It is incorrect to say "DC Schools be great!"

;-)

It’s central Wisconsin, the town is just outside of Wausau.

It would be interesting to see the make up of the employees involved in the process of making the sign up to and including its installation.

What does this say about the sign installer? The manufacturer of the sign? The quality control people?

For that matter, education in general in America.

In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king. America is "so well educated" that ... Heaven help us ... obama was elected.

My sister in law complained about a sign in her neighborhood until it finally was changed.

Things like that happen all the time. I remember a bridge in California that was built backwards. There were dozens of opportunities to recognize the error before the concrete was poured but it happened anyway. It was a rural bridge over a freeway and wouldn’t have been a problem except it only had one sidewalk and it ended up on the wrong side. We realigned the road on each side of the bridge to match the deck and now people drive across it with no idea of the headaches it caused.

What are you complaining about? There’s finally proof of a job coming from Obama’s “stimulus” package.

Yes, that stuff happens, but this was SPELLING.

ON A SIGN!!

It left the factory that way, and the men who put it up either have English as their 2nd...or they’re working on it.
Or, they are seriously ignorant...to be kind.

Don’t they send proofs to the purchaser before it’s manufactured?

My story about the bridge stems from my years working for the California Division of Highways, or as it’s now called, “Caltrans”. Part of that time was spent designing signs such as that. We designed them, drew them up and a contractor actually fabricated them... most of the time. Sometimes, if there was a rush job, our people would put together the sign. Evidently we just had better educated people. When I see something like the sign in the original post, I just shrug and blame the government schools.

Drill’s Law of Humility - every post criticizing another poster for making a silly spelling error will contain at least two embarrassing erors of it’s own.
