A street blade in Salinas with an extra capital letter... (Well, at least it's not Clarendon)

Brand-new here (awesome forum!) and I've yet to take any pics specifically to post here, but I already had this one...



How exactly do you misspell a city ending in "-ville?"

Funny thing is, it's correct on Google Maps...but the sign had been replaced since the Google car passed it December 2007:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=turbeville,+sc&hl=en&ll=33.968175,-80.040336&spn=0.002554,0.005284&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=39.86519,86.572266&hnear=Turbeville,+Clarendon,+South+Carolina&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=33.968223,-80.040229&panoid=S8XIG85bWBbjYJlaEJzNFw&cbp=12,246.1,,0,16.9

Need to dig out my old photo of the sign that must have been the recipient of that missing "L" and spelled Paintsville as "Paintsvillle."

It was a subtle error and I passed it a zillion times before I saw it. Luckily I got a pic; it was later repaired and the spelling corrected.

My first thought is "why even bother with the Clearview there?"
Routewitches. These children of the moving road gather strength from travel . . . Rather than controlling the road, routewitches choose to work with it, borrowing its strength and using it to make bargains with entities both living and dead. -- Seanan McGuire, Sparrow Hill Road

That white on black US route shield is cool, but would have been better if they used the proper (California) wide template rather than just stretching out the standard shield.

Why would they use the California template? The sign is in Arizona.

I think he's trying to say that the California cut-out shield is nicer than Arizona's, and then laughing out loud (for no reason, like most "lol"s).

Either that, or he received a round of electroshock therapy while typing.

Maybe it's not an "LOL". Maybe "lOl" is an emoticon denoting his head is being gradually crushed in a vise and "ca>az" is his frantically clawing at the keyboard to escape the nefarious captors doing that to him...

lOl is used for people with big heads and short arms, like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Or perhaps to denote the presence of TIE fighters.

Sure about that? Maybe it's meant to be (c*a) > (a*z)*absolute value of 0. Why he just couldn't say c > 0 is beyond me.

I was referring to this specific case where they just took the California cutout design and stretched it out, instead of using the proper wide California cutout design. I, too, am not sure why they wouldn't just go with the standard 1970 specs, though. Seems it's more effort to actively create an erroneous bubble shield of sorts.
