This guy seems to have a pseudonym for sign-writing. Come to think of it, maybe we should all do that. I call "Princess Wonderful". Thanks for sending it from your nifty new iphone, Thomas.
At least he;s polite, not just thanking me, but thanking me for a minute of my time. Though the sign wouldn't take a whole minute to read without that added on...
Okay, so what's the rule about punctuation inside vs. outside the quotation marks? I'm referring to the period outside "Princess Wonderful". Are you in UK? The American rule is to place punctuation inside the close quote, even if quoting just one word (colons & semi-colons excepted; question marks are dependent on content). I collect signs; two of my faves are: "No.Dump.On.This.Property. You.will.be.fine. By.law." and, in a Food Lion grocery: "If the package size you want is not on display please ask the perishable mgr."
Man, I hate when sinks cloged-up!

ReplyDeleteok, ok, you're the second one to ask that. That is enough for "frequently" I guess. Check the FAQ.
