THE LITERACY MOVEMENT MUST’VE STALLED

By March 8, 2016Culture, Random/Rants

It’s everywhere you turn — signs of unintelligent life.

Here are two random examples of in-your-face abuse of the English language:

  • Fan sign at a ballgame: “WE (LOVE) ARE NY (YANKEES)”
  • Artwork on the sidewalk in front of a sign shop: “SMILE: YOUR ON CAMERA”

More than a petty rant or pet peeve, calling out such nonsense serves to redirect proper credit to those who continue to teach and learn English the write way.
