I just love the Syncfusion ad banner (appears from time to time on the top of the page) where they advertise free ebooks, their first claim being "ad-free". O the irony !

This is called business logic.

Indeed. And this[^] is irony.

In July, I was on vacation in France, and I came across a board that said "Accès interdit" (Access forbidden) because it was close to a cliff that was collapsing. What was this translated to? To "Speechless access"[^]...

If you access, you may be left speechless. That's what they're saying.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

They're saying nothing, I suggest how they gone to such a bullshit
the wrong orthograph of "Voix"(voice) instead "Voie"(way) gives :
"sans voie d'accés" (no way access, dead-end way) that becomes:
"sans voix d'accés" (speechless or voiceless access)
do you see the idiocy? ("vois"-tu l'imbécilité)
"voie, voix, vois" (track, voice, see) three different meaning with exactly the same pronunciation
Unfortunately, this confirms the decay of French language by phonetically writing!

Well they cannot event get their own language right. It is spellt [oops] spelt with an accent:
accès.

Nope.
The academie Francaise also encourages the use of 'stationment' instead of 'parking' to no avail too.

'stationnement'?

The German isn't any better, forbreading access!
Seems to be a popular sign though:

Not that even they understood it: "een uitzicht waar je sprakeloos van wordt....." An 'out look' indeed. For the Dutch speakers, Access is more like what, weg? or voorgang perhaps?

Access is 'toegang' in Dutch.

Yeah, that rings a bell. 'Toegang bezookers' is a sign I used to see a lot.

To be fair, yodelling might cause a landslip. And earbleed.
