NYC officials dodge blame over 'SHCOOL X-NG' sign

[Fuji Vice]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Everyone who's ever gone to school should know how to spell "school."

But someone who plastered a school crossing sign on the street in front of a New York City high school got it wrong.

The New York Post reports ( http://nyp.st/zzfXDj ) that the big white letters in front of Marta Valle High School on the Lower East Side say "SHCOOL X-NG."

A spokesman for the city Department of Transportation said the error was made by a utility provider, not by the city.

The Post says workers apparently cut into the several months ago to get to underground utility lines. When utilities or contractors perform work on a city street, they are responsible for restoring it correctly.

The Department of Transportation spokesman said the error will be corrected.

Well that's pretty pathetic. How the hell can you misspell shcool? Oh wow, its easier than I thought. :

GAH! They've gotten rid of it....

NEW YORK (AP) -- An embarrassing misspelling of "school" is gone from the street outside a New York City school building.

Utility workers used heavy machinery to ground up the wrongly placed "H" and "C" in the "SHCOOL X-NG" sign on Tuesday.

The correction was made a day after the New York Post reported the spelling error.

The words were created with industrial "textured tape" that permanently sticks to the asphalt.

Con Ed told the Post ( http://nyp.st/A41ber ) that the blunder occurred when a contractor ripped up the street for utility work and replaced the existing markings.

It says the mistake outside the Lower East Side building that houses three schools had been there since July 2010.

What scares me is that it had been there for a year and a half before anyone noticed.
