With all of the brainpower at the University of Pennsylvania, you'd think that someone would have caught this one. I am embarrassed by my alma mater right now...

Hmm, that sign does seem to have been launched without the requisite proofreading. Shameful. Though it should be noted that "green" can be a noun or even a verb, these days. No doubt there's some developer out there trying to "green" a new McMansion by adding a putting green. And "proofread" can be used as an adjective, as in "A proofread sign would have reflected better on Penn."
