He's the new Swedish Diplomat
He's the new Swedish Diplomat to Boston.
The signs should be
in braille for those out of state tour bus drivers, Canadian truck drivers and uhaul renting college students.
If olny
If olny the signs could broadcast a signal that would make a GPS unit scream like a dying cyberman.
Bad
That's really bad. If it were something like a misplaced apostrophe then I might have more sympathy, but this just smacks of "spelling check is not my job". (Or maybe "splleing check" is more appropriate.)
I'm really surprised by this
I'm really surprised by this illiteracy, sloppiness and lack of attention to detail, said absolutely nobody.
Is the name of the engineer
Is the name of the engineer who signed off on that sign a public record?
Having a sign spelled correctly on a work order
is no assurance it won't be spelled incorrectly by the fabricator in the sign shop. Especially when it comes to simple transposition errors like "OLNY".
ol' New York
Cars from Ol' NY. I don't see the problem.
I have to say, I'm sure this
I have to say, I'm sure this was a typo, but it's almost like it could be a subliminal way of making you notice the sign...
When I was in junior high
When I was in junior high school, I had an older teacher who would say to the students who messed around in his class, "Keep screwing around, they always need people to paint lines on the road". I guess they hire the same individuals to spell highway signs.
OMG, that made me laugh out
OMG, that made me laugh out loud, and sounds like something one of the old-timey teachers in my school would have said.
Ironically, the guy/girls
Ironically, the guy/girls "who paint lines on the road probably have more secure jobs and pay/benefits that are better, or at least competitive with some of the best students your teacher had in his class.
To quote Judge Smails..."The world needs ditch diggers too."

Hollywood tax credit...
I didn't even know they were making Idiocracy 2, let alone filming it in Boston.
Another misspelling
Several years ago, one of the green interstate-type signs above route 3 on the way to Plymouth read Pilmoth Plantation instead of Plimoth Plantation.
Plimoth
is the old time spelling. Oops...my dyslexia is kicking in.
Disability friendly
One sign is "normal" while the other is for survivors of dyslexia.
Medford was first
We've had this sign for years and years: https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!1m8!1m3!1d3!2d-71.09885!3d42....
Years ago,I got a bad cut on my leg
I wish they had a SCAR ONLY lane that I could use.
The sign could be
donated to residents of Olneyville (Providence). I bet a lot of misspelled signs could go there to live.
