As you may know by now, bad grammar and spelling bothers me. I'm not perfect. But I strive to be. And most of my work isn't in the public eye.
Every work day for the past couple weeks, I have driven past one of those digital highway signs, with a yellow and black sign affixed saying "Sign Under Test".
What does that even mean? I know what they intend it to mean. "Sign undergoing testing." But that isn't what it says.
To me, it's a command to put my signature under the word "Test". Or is it a command for ordering words in reverse alphabetical order? "Sign" goes under "Test".
Couldn't the sign have simply read "Sign Test:". Short, succinct, and to the point.
Sigh.
