Significance of misspelled signage, David's... condition.

Several times during the course of this novel, the author mentions that the temporary signage around the asylum and prison featured misspelled words. Does anyone know what this was about?
Also, I found it very strange that David's condition as a non-human was almost ignored in this book. There were a few nods to it (Star Trek teleporter discussion, David informing a character that his friends "knew" who he was) but otherwise, David's status wasn't a factor in the story despite its obvious relevance. Weird.

I think, after a bit of time, his friends actually liked the "monster" David better than the original, "human" David. They even mentioned once he was less angry and easier to get along with, I think.
Can't remember the significance of the misspelled words, if there is a reason for that.

The Signs were rejected signage, mistakes that were never used and stored away, then the military in the town that shall not be named found a use for them...this is how I remember it anyway.
