I hate it when people say "you live in FloriDUH" but it's things like this which do not help the argument:

Florida road sign to university and college misspelt twice

Not only was it misspelled, they actually still assembled and delivered it to the side of the road, talk about bad quality control..or total lack of care...on the bright side the sign was made in Arkansas....but the damage is already done.

We simply refer to Florida as "The 'Duh", but it's funny to see this link at the bottom of the story... lol

I totally missed that, "Weirdest State", seems Florida is always in the news for something obscure and eligible for a Darwin Award.

According to my location, I live in Floriduh.

But the signs were made in ArkanSAA so I can understand why they have a hard time spelling.

It's kinda sad that Florida outsources it's road sign jobs to Arkansas...

I wonder if the famous "Rick Scott - Governor" signs were also made in Arkansas... LoL

""" FloriDUH meaning get's more fuel for the fire"""

Not to be a dick, but there is not an apostrophe in the above. It should read gets more fuel.

Tell me about it, just imagine though the workers who made the sign...assembled, loaded it on a truck and delivered it to the road along I-95....surely there must have been someone who noticed it during the process? Probably just did not care or maybe did not speak English for that matter? Considering "Florida" is spelled the same way I find that hard to believe?



I hate to admit it, but often on the news channels here, I see misspelled words all the time whenever a news story comes on and they show graphics, on a weekly basis.

Worse. Buy an American flag and see where it was made.
