It does jar me, however, when a professionally made sign contains errors like that. It indicates a lack of professionalism that makes me wonder whether the message is actually what the person that commissioned the sign intended.

On a trip deep inside a General Motors 'machine cavern', I noticed a sign on the elevator spelled it "employees". I asked the union guy who finally corrected its spelling. That (and all other signs in GM) spelled it "employes". He told me that Roger Smith has resigned as chairman two days ago. GM in days was changing all signs and all forms to the correct spelling. Because Roger Smith spelled it "employes", then all signs, forms, etc had to be changed to "employes".
