I pass this building on the way home from work, and a few months ago I noticed this attempt to inform potential visitors where the front door is. You’d think that they’d have gotten out the dictionary, or would have asked somebody beforehand. But obviously these guys paint first and ask questions later. And as to their choice of color … whoever runs this building isn’t doing much for the enlightenment of our youth, either in terms of basic spelling or in terms of exterior decorating. Hey, I’ve made spelling errors myself, but I’m not ashamed to go back and correct them. But whoever runs this building is not in any more hurry to protect the mother tongue than they are to keep their building in shape. In a world of decay, language loses its sacredness and power. (Still, someone thought that this message was enough like a sentence to add a period at the end!)
