Wee can spel in Wiskonson!
This takes some talent! Spelling three out of the four words wrong on one sign! Seriously. FOUR WORDS! 75% wrong! Is there no spell-check on the sign making software?
A sign pointing southbound travelers onto Business Highway 51 in Rothschild and Schofield bears an incorrect spelling for every word except “exit.”
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.”
“How do I politely say it shows some incompetence on someone’s part?” said Rothschild Village President Neal Torney.
btw… one of the few ways that a lowly intern or copy editor working at a newspaper can have fun, without causing too much trouble, is by how the “slug” the story. When you click on the link, to the newspaper story, check out the address of the page.
