Braille
I learned to read braille a while back, and I've noticed that the messages on signs don't always match the regular text. [A sign reads "Third Floor Office" with braille print underneath. Cueball is reading the braille.] Cueball (thinking): s-i-g-h-t-e-d-p-e-o-p-l-e-s-u-c-k ... Hey!

Braille is a writing system for the blind and visually impaired using bumps on a paper, slate, etc. However, since most sighted people have no need for braille, and because braille messages may need to convey purely-visual information to blind people, the braille message may be adjusted from the original message. In this case, however, it acts as a jab toward people who are not blind, saying that "sighted people suck," which is obviously not something you would typically see (no pun intended) [ citation needed ] on informational signs. [ SIGHTation needed ] Similar "translations" can be found when one deciphers the alien translations on nearly all signs in Futurama.
The title text shows a practical (and more realistic) example of where regular text and braille text may differ. As the visually impaired cannot see color, the label would need to identify some other defining feature of the button in question, such as the given measurement.
