24 Sign Design Fails That Clearly Bypassed SpellcheckThese sign fails are basically a crash course in bad design.
There’s nothing like a good sign to point you in the right direction. Sometimes, the only direction a sign gives you is straight into confusion. A sign should be simple and clear, yet somehow these ended up being riddled with typos and design choices that make you wonder who gave the final thumbs up.
I’m not saying everyone has to be a grammar wizard, but maybe double-checking the spelling on something thousands of people will see every day isn’t too much to ask. The best part is that these masterpieces of chaos got printed, mounted, and proudly displayed in public.
Thankfully, their mistakes are our entertainment. These sign design fails are proof that spellcheck is a best friend worth keeping around.
