I couldn't make these up if I tried. There is no shortage of these signs. They are everywhere. Why are so many signs misspelled? Are we lazy, stupid, or is it good marketing? The truth is many of these misspellings are inadvertent and we remember them. Personally, I think it's to keep us amused. I know they helped pass the time on those long, never ending, family road trips to visit the grandparents in Florida. I would make a big deal out of the misspellings and have my children laughing the entire time. Guess what? They're both terrific spellers today. Next time you're driving somewhere try and spot the many road signs with mistakes. They're everywhere. What can I say? It's almost a hobby.
