I can't believe I live in a city where even the street signs are not right!

*Edit*
Open something with a spell checker and type in "32th." Tell me if a red line apperars under it.

I hate to be a party pooper on your topic but the signs are designed like that so that it would be easier for people to remember and write. It's not that they are wrong it is just to fit the needs of those who are in a hurry or can't remember long things.

Forgive me...I'm not the most observant person in the world. sweatdrop

Funny how things like that just never occur to most people.

It took me a second to catch what was wrong with the sign. It's a silly mistake, but don't cities have to order signs from somewhere? It's probably the fault of the manufacturor.

Oh Jesus... rofl I had a P.E. teacher that did something like that on a detention slip I found hidden under the bleachers. I just about died.

Thank you, Mr. Black, truer words were never spoken.
