Road sign errors hit taxpayers Councils have paid hundreds of pounds to correct street signs with spelling and punctuation mistakes and missing information, it has been revealed. No entry? The workmen wrote 'No Entrt' on a one-way street in the West Midlands and were ordered to repaint the error, much to the amusement of locals. Umm, what is a toliet?

I think it's great. People should care, and if they don't then I'm glad there are people who care enough to correct their mistakes. Hopefully people will see the corrected signs and take it a little more seriously next time they are tasked with creating one. I'm glad at least someone else thinks it's a good idea! I think it's a great idea! People should be ashamed if they are making grammatical and spelling errors as adults.

And probably embarrassing for the workers who painted them. haha.

I think it shows that they don't care enough about what they're doing to even proofread their work. Which is not a good thing. And there's absolutely no reason why anyone should not be using spell check when available.
