Dear Industrious Signmakers*:
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, we need to talk about execution. Have you read my earlier posts on the subject (here and here, for example)? I’ll assume you have not.
For two of you, I will allow that maybe the impending arrival of Hurricane Dorian and the subsequent Coastal Georgia mandatory evacuation scared you so much that you couldn’t concentrate.
Perhaps I should say “evaculation” so you understand me.
What’s an “inconveniece?” Your sibling’s daughter is a nun?
And you are close as in proximal to evaculation evacuation?
If so, I’d like you to meet another signmaker who is right there with you.
There’s a third one of you who has no excuse because he/she is nowhere near the hurricane. And this is a semi-permanent sign. And he/she works at a university.
Are the staff deficient in some way? Or is it just the proofing skills that are?
Sigh.
I know you likely are in a hurry, but just take a hot second to review your work.
Yours in appreciation,
Beth

Walmart will be close today… I guess so after the storm surge washes it
away and plops it down in front of your house.
For years I’ve been paying attention to spelling reform schemes, such as
Quickscript, which has two different symbols for /s/ and /z/ sounds,
which is nice, but I figure people will just misspell things with a
brave new reformed English orthography, whatever it is.

Haha! Yes. Sadly.
