That's horrible... That's certainly not what I've always imagined about
signage. However, recently I heard of a case where the sign's text was
miss-spelled here in Pensacola. (smile) The educational system? (grin)

Subject: [optacon-l] Very Briefly, a signage experience
In the company of a sighted person I recently went to the Port Authority bus
Terminal in midtown Manhattan. We were looking for the location of ticket
windows for a particular bus company and then the location of a particular
bus. There were many many signs. Unfortunately, many of them had arrows
pointing in misleading directions. By following information on a sign, we
kept finding ourselves in entirely thw wrong place. We ended up consulting a
harrassed commutor, also no cops or personnel to ask.
Signs are often over-rated. Information often changes, but the signs remain.
