I only got through about half of these signs before I felt nauseated and had to stop. How awful! Shocked

That's truly scary. 'Literacy' misspelled (twice, if I recall)!! 'Speeling'?? And peopel wonder why we think the US education system is in the toilet Cool

NB: All misspellings in above post are intentional Cool

We're forgiving of spelling and grammar errors on signs displayed in non-English speaking countries, but this is... pathetic! Shocked

I was most interested to see a billboard with the following words: �symphony�, �scool� and �develoment�. The hardest word is spelt correctly. Razz

The stationery cupboard at my workplace is labelled 'stationary'. It used to irk me until I realised that the cupboard wasn't going anywhere.
