too much of a language nerd?

I noticed one of the ads on the bus has a mistake in it. It's actually an ad by the bus service itself. 
It has to do with directions for how you should exit the bus.  I should take a picture but I'm not sure if I've been back on that same bus again. 
On the sign, it tells you to exit through the back or something like that, unless you are "afraid of
a hoard of wild rabbits".  But if they are trying to describe a large group or crowd, then the word
should be "horde".  There is actually a noun form of the word "hoard" but it means something different.
Is it wrong that this bugs me a bit?
