I realize not everyone is a language maven, so I'm not about to judge folks whose spelling and grammar aren't sharpened to a knife-like edge. Indeed, I recognize that I'm functional in only three languages, which means there are a bajillion other languages that would leave me laughably out of my depth.
But still. Call a friend? Have someone else proofread it before it goes to the sign people? Or hire sign people who also copy edit? Something? Bueller?
Your turn: Got any other sign failures you'd like to share?

This only loosely relates to your post but had to share. My favorite sign was in a super market. It read, "Cashier's will swipe all credit cards. " Needless to say, I stuck with cash.
I cringed over one at a sandwich shop which suggested "lettuce cater your party".
I have been known to grab a green pen (such as I use for grading papers) and correct signs in public places. ;)
Hey, I've just expanded into non-fiction. I'd be glad to help anyone proof a sign!
There was one I saw at a sandwich place once talking about the "topings" you could get on your sandwich. After a few visits, I let them know it was incorrect... it was fixed to "toppings" shortly thereafter. lol.
I saw a sign in front of an unfinished furniture store that read, "shutters - half off!"
