most printers use the customers spelling
then if its wrong they can point out that the customer should have checked the drafts.

the customer is also probably quite often
absolutely convinced that their version is right, and you'll only lose business by trying to argue with them.

^this
the wife's a printer (well, when employed), and he's had to put through some right old cockups because the client gets bolshy when questioned.

If I notice obvious errors in client copy
I fix them, and if there's ambiguity then I query them

(I don't make signs, but I do get client copy for the various jobs I do)

depends on the job
printers do all kinds of stuff, you leave the typos alone because you dont know if they were put there for some LOLZANY reason

fair dos
the stuff I do is much more collaborative with the client than just printing I suppose

One time when I was at Uni,
I happened to be with the college social sec when he went to pick up posters for some event from the printers'. It was an invitation to "join the Senior Man" at some occasion, and I looked at it, and... it actually said "joint". He'd had 400 of the fuckers done, and had to do them all again.
