Hold on. This means all of these signs are written without the help of a computer or dictionary. (Unless a “bat teary” is something so unspeakable it can’t be written in standard English.) Against the Goliath of English spelling, it’s not surprising every time there is a spelling error — it’s amazing every time there isn’t. Also, how often do you read a sign printed with an accent?
