If olny the signs could broadcast a signal that would make a GPS unit scream like a dying cyberman.

That's really bad. If it were something like a misplaced apostrophe then I might have more sympathy, but this just smacks of "spelling check is not my job". (Or maybe "splleing check" is more appropriate.)

I'm really surprised by this illiteracy, sloppiness and lack of attention to detail, said absolutely nobody.

Is the name of the engineer who signed off on that sign a public record?

is no assurance it won't be spelled incorrectly by the fabricator in the sign shop. Especially when it comes to simple transposition errors like "OLNY".

Cars from Ol' NY. I don't see the problem.

I have to say, I'm sure this was a typo, but it's almost like it could be a subliminal way of making you notice the sign...

When I was in junior high school, I had an older teacher who would say to the students who messed around in his class, "Keep screwing around, they always need people to paint lines on the road". I guess they hire the same individuals to spell highway signs.

OMG, that made me laugh out loud, and sounds like something one of the old-timey teachers in my school would have said.

Ironically, the guy/girls "who paint lines on the road probably have more secure jobs and pay/benefits that are better, or at least competitive with some of the best students your teacher had in his class.

To quote Judge Smails..."The world needs ditch diggers too."

I didn't even know they were making Idiocracy 2, let alone filming it in Boston.

Several years ago, one of the green interstate-type signs above route 3 on the way to Plymouth read Pilmoth Plantation instead of Plimoth Plantation.

One sign is "normal" while the other is for survivors of dyslexia.

I wish they had a SCAR ONLY lane that I could use.

donated to residents of Olneyville (Providence). I bet a lot of misspelled signs could go there to live.
