Decal spelling mistake.

I don't usually read my decals but today I noticed the exhaust caution decal has a spelling mistake. Instead of
"decrease" it says " decresed". Checking online TimsCBX has the same mistake on their decal?? Did the PO buy this from Tims? Anyone come across this?
I also noticed that the oil level caution decal near the dipstick says " When check oil level" instead of " When checking oil level" Another bum repro decal ??

Lost in translation?
Japanese manuals in the '70s used to be hilarious.

I was working at a Suzuki dealership in the late 70s and the guy next to me was
troubleshooting a GS1000 for electrical problems. He was a mild mannered guy
with a good sense of humor and he seemed to be intensely studying the shop
manual in between tests when he suddenly backed up and let out a string of
profanities totally unlike him. "what the hell is wrong with you?" I asked. He
quietly went back to his lift and motioned me over, pointing at a phrase in
the manual. I just about fell on the floor laughing. It read "make sure stator
is properly insulted". :lol:

How to know it is not OEM: I find that in many 'operating instruction' type things and labels for Chinese-made products.
