LITTLE ROCK, AR -- The roadwork on I-430 and I-630 is causing headaches for a lot of motorists. But Saturday, there was a different kind of distraction.

FOX16 cameras found an inappropriate word on one of the marquees.

The line was supposed to read "lanes shift", however the last word was altered.

The state highway department is investigating the cause of the mix-up, but they say the signs are owned and operated by an independent contractor.

Leaders say they don't know if the problem was an accident or the work of a hacker.

hahaha, I see that little "shift" error all of the time on resumes..for example; "my duties were to schedule employee "shifts" minus the "f"....or "I'm interested in any "shift" you have available...Could have been an honest mistake like some of the resumes I get but either way, it's funny as "shift"....l0l

The objection is to Anglo-Saxon words which were declared vulgar after the French speaking Normans invaded England (1066 AD) and changed the language to French. Latin - f*eces is acceptable. French - defecation is acceptable. Anglo-Saxon - sh*it is "inappropriate". I despise the current fashion of calling things "inappropriate" when what is meant is vulgar. Any 4 or 5 letter word substituted for "shift" would have been inappropriate. Actually a 5 letter word starting with sh and ending with t is less inappropriate. Less shaft.. Lanes shack. Lanes shade. Don't look for semantic logic here. How do lanes "defecate"?
