I have heard the word "Signage" used from time to time to refer to the signs on or in a building or shop etc. I can't find it in any dictionary. Is it a correct word? I have also heard it used in a plural form which sounds awful: "Signages". Can it have a plural?

In the graphic design profession, signage refers to a system of signs, hopefully consistent within certain design and information parameters, though not always so. I constantly find myself muttering, "bad design, bad design" when stumbling around a hospital or airport looking for a specific room or area.
Don't know about "signages," but the sound of it makes me cringe a bit. Signage systems, maybe?

Lucky for you. If you ever visit a certain province in the South Island of New Zealand, your moniker could get you publicly stoned for blaspheming a local deity, would you not agree CapK?

Dunno, Max. Blasphemy works in two directions, and after the last test in Bordeaux ... well, even Cantabrians must have their limits when it comes to unreasoning adulation. 
The idiot also known as Capfka ...
