Does bad spelling equal bad driving???

OK, now here's a new one....maybe people can't drive because other people can't spell. You are probably asking yourself what does he mean by that? Well take a close look at the automated road signed advising people of road construction ahead. The sign reads "Use Alternet Route"

So does "Alternet" route have any relation to “Internet?” Maybe it is telling people they should change there Internet provider.

These Construction Masterminds decided to change the spelling of the word so it would fit on the sign. Yes, most people will probably get the gist of the message. But why didn't these so called "Traffic Engineers" go with the common abbreviation "ALT."? I have no idea. Either they honestly have no idea how to properly spell the word...which is supposed to be spelled: "Alternate"

What better excuse can these crazy drives have than saying...'well the sign said use Alternet'....so I was trying to call my Internet provided on my Cell phone while driving down the street.

Just thought this was a funny sign and wanted to share it with everyone.

Safe driving!

  1. I'm in search of a tractor suitable for my dairy farm that can efficiently manage heavy loads and transport feed. The john deere 4430 looks like it could be an excellent choice, but I'm also considering the kubota b7100 for lighter tasks around the farm. The john deere 4640 has caught my interest due to its impressive pulling capacity. Furthermore, I'm looking at the john deere 4100 for its ability to navigate tight areas. I'm also wondering if the john deere 850 could serve as a better versatile option. Which one do you think I should go for?
