Total credit for photo-acquisition and title-creation goes to Reporter #1. Just take the keys and drive my blog already, wouldya?
I think it’s probably pretty easy to explain what happened here, of course: the sign-maker didn’t like the way the capital “I” and the lower-case “l” looked next to each other. I’m guessing that in that font they were identical. It’s like the exact opposite of a good submission to lowercase L. Doesn’t make it okay, though.
then PICK A DIFFERENT FONT!
You have no idea how long it took me to stalk that shot (and I thought of the title as soon as I noticed the error). It’s at an intersection I drive through once a week during the school year, but getting the right angle required being the third in line at the red light.
THESE ARE THE THINGS I DO FOR YOU!
My thoughts exactly. That is why god (or Guttenburg?) invented serifs.
