What an awesome blog! As a former English grammar and composition teacher and professional editor/writer for the past 27+ years, I've seen these so many times that I sometimes want to rip the perpetrators' hair out while pounding some sense into them. I've also set up a Squidoo lens on Grammar and Parts of Speech and I have a blog about the Agonized English I see when I'm out and about: Editorial Rants of EditorDave. My sites are mostly for homeschooling families and for teachers wanting to find new references.... but you are welcome to visit as well. Thanks again for making such a strong point with such humor!
Sweet I'm going there soon. I can see this sign in person. Whole new vistas in tourism.

ReplyDeletehaha, this reminds me of an episode of The Office.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's an airport. Maybe "fire" is a euphemisim for something that would make the passengers uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteThey mean in case somebody yells "Fire," whether or not there is one.
