Spelling mistakes happen, even with predictive text and spell check.
It looks bad when its on business signage, but it looks really bad when a crosswalk for a school misspells "school."
This very thing happened in Doral, Florida. A school crosswalk was labeled "scohol" instead of "school".

The spelling mistake went viral and Florida school officials had to scramble to fix the issue.
Maxwell Easter, an onlooker, said:
""It's not a good thing when you misspell school. It's not a good look. At all."
It has also brought out people who want selfies with the misspelled crosswalk.
Easter added:
"My buddy pulled it up on Twitter and saw that someone had misspelled school and we had to come see it for ourselves."
While the misspelling was a moment of brevity for a lot of people, it won't last for long. The city of Doral tweeted that they would be fixing the issue quickly.
