It’s as if it were done by Neatorama:

A street near Northwood Elementary in Kalamazoo, Mich., has the word ’school’ misspelled on the pavement. Crews were expected to correct the mistake Thursday.

    Apparently the painter went to public shcool, and skated by on that "leave no dumbass behind" rule.

    This is phonetically better than the true spelling.

    "This is phonetically better than the true spelling."

    That must be some accent you have. :)

    There's a used car dealer by me with a large (permanent) sign out front which says "BAD CREDIT? YOUR APPROVED!" Morons.

    The place I work employs a couple of sign guys to paint, engrave, and otherwise make signage for the facility. These geniuses are forever screwing up signs they make. e.g. They had to label a stack of shelves, and they did a neat job. Too bad the indivdual labels when completed read "SHELVE 1", "SHELVE 2", SHELVE 3"... Ugh. Some of us joke about "looking for the union labelers" (a pun on an old union them song urging people to look for union labels when purchasing goods.) Yuk yuk yuk.
