I realize it&#8217;s just a little sign for a basketball tournament. But, is it really unreasonable to expect a sign that is hung within a school to contain the correct spelling of such an important word? I certainly don&#8217;t advocate reliance upon word processor program spell checkers, but at least they will alert you that [...]]]></description>

I thought this was an entertaining article from Fox News today. Personally, my favorite was the Children&#8217;s Dimetapp warning, &#8220;be careful when driving a motor vehicle.&#8221; Most of these warnings are absolutely ludicrous. The article lists only a few examples, so I thought it might be fun to come up with some additional ones that [...]]]></description>

A friend of mine who works in Spokane, WA snapped this picture  (near Montgomery and Argonne) and sent it to me. Someone at the road department obviously messed up. I wonder if they recognized the mistake and were &#8220;too busy&#8221; with other tasks or if they just never looked to see what the message was [...]]]></description>

I had alluded to the need to capture this picture in a previous post. Thanks to my sister-in-law, I now have a picture of this mistake (thanks Tina!).
Rabbit Trail: Why did Tina have the opportunity to get this picture for me? Unfortunately, she had to go to this grocery store to request a refund for [...]]]></description>

My daughter discovered this sign recently on a local bike path here in Coeur d&#8217;Alene. The ironic thing about this particular sign is that it is near the front of a school (Woodland Middle School, by the Comcast Building)! You would think/hope that one of the teachers would have called someone about the error on [...]]]></description>

I always seem to forget about the camera on my phone. So, I have to go back to the grocery store and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the last sign we featured, it was the wording that created the confusion. This time, the wording is crystal clear &#8211; no dogs allowed. But what kind of animal is depicted on the sign? What exactly is it? A duckbill platypus? Wow.
What do you think&#8230;did the owner/manager who purchased this sign really look at [...]]]></description>

Just because all of the information is out there for potential customers to read doesn&#8217;t mean the message is being communicated clearly to them. This picture is an excellent example. I saw this sign board in South Dakota and had to read it a couple of times to decipher and digest the information properly. Initially, [...]]]></description>
