Assume v. Presume

What's wrong wit that? It's the bank holiday's coffee isn't it?
Cretins.

And coffee is an everyday item !

 

[Black Hole]

And clearly it's not open every day.

 

[Trev]

And coffee is an everyday item !

Unless you want it on Christmas day etc.

 

[gomezz]

But Boxing Day is a Bank Holiday and it aint't open then.

 

[Trev]

I think that Christma's and Boxing day's are public holiday's, not bank holiday's.

 

[MikeSh]

No, the coffee doesn't belong to the bank holiday, the day does.
In full it should say "Open every day, including bank holiday's day(s)".

 

[kevindickinson]

It's not every day that you see such an everyday item as this with so many errors.

I conclude there are no Bank Holidays in December as The Coffee House is open Bank Holidays but closed December.

Christmas is cancelled

It crosses my mind that the PC is to blame for this (and similar examples). It provides the tools, and people have learned to use the tools, but are not qualified to create things with it that are intended for display in public.

So in summary ... Monkeys with typewriters

So in summary ... Monkeys with typewriters

No. It's just people with somewhat less than a full grasp of the nuances of the English language and its punctuation like what we have trying to save a bit of cash by not employing a signwriter (who may or may not know better).

 

[Black Hole]

Yes, but the real problem is that they don't know they don't know.

Are there any signwriters left in this day of computerised vinyl cutters?

 

[gomezz]

Lots of sign-righters frequenting the interweb in pursuit of errant apostrophe's and the like.

 

[dandnsmith]

errant apostrophe's what? (to repeat an item posted earlier)

 

[gomezz]

Whoo'sh!

Isn't that what I said in three words?

 

[Trev]

Yes, but why be economical with the words? So long as you use the correct ones here, you should be OK. But for goodness sake watch out for the typos.
No challenge of "like what we have"?

 

[Black Hole]

Official Ernie Wise School of Proper English (like what he wrote).

 

[Trev]

"Like wot he rit", surely.

 

[Black Hole]

Springwatch: "0736 am this morning..." Double tautology!
