Living in a world where we're surrounded by needless spelling and grammar errors is tough. Sometimes, it gets to be too much. We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore, right? RIGHT! So, what do we do? Kick ass and don't bother taking names? Heavens, no. Tear your coworkers a new one and then burn the building down to the ground? Goodness gracious me. That seems so unnecessary. And violent. And I'm not just nonviolent. I'm lazy. So what AM I going to do? Well, I'm going to get a pen out, and I'm going to make the corrections myself. YEAH. That'll show 'em! Just like these good people.

First, the original:

These signs are in the elevators where my friend MF works. She says a number of these signs are up, and while some have been corrected, others have not. Looking at the corrections, I think the person doing the correcting hit all the major issues. Some of this could have been reworded to make it a little clearer, but I think the corrections indicated are the ones I would have wanted to make as well.

Well done, sign corrector! We applaud your efforts. It really, really does take a village, y'all. There's no shame in asking those around you to help out when you're stuck. That's what friends (and coworkers) are for!

(Thanks, MF!)
