Misspelled Highway Sign

Posted by Miss Cellania in Odd News on July 27, 2009 at 1:26 am

A sign on Highway 51 in Wisconsin points to exit 185. There are four words on the sign, and three are misspelled. “Exit” was correctly spelled.

David Vieth, director of the bureau of highway operations for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, said the mistake was made by Decker Supply Company of Madison, which printed the sign.

The sign for exit 185 on southbound Highway 51 reads “Buisness 51 Rothschield Schofeild.”

By Sunday morning, the sign had been replaced. Link

We’ve had our share of typsos here on Neatorama, so we understand how misspellings can happen even to the best of us. But misspelling the name of this lake in Webster, Massachusetts? Why, it’s inconceivable how anyone couldn’t spell it correctly:

In an embarrassing mistake, officials in Massachusetts have been forced to admit that some road signs pointing to Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg have spelling mistakes in them.

The typos, which are completely baffling considering how easy it is to spell Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, were revealed by a local newspaper, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, which has been covering the misspelling scandal since 2003.
