Expensed

With all the bad signs around here, I always wonder if it is the sign maker or client who doesn't have complete command of the English language.

Micah: Owner's.

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: That too.

Like this: www.angryflower.com/bobsqu.gif I hope the link works I've never done that before.

I see things like this everywhere.

(a personal favorite: "It is against the law to use private property to avoid traffic control devises.")

I believe that it's the client. The client would surely complain if the maker got it wrong and order the signs re-done. If the client insists that he wants "owners expensed" despite the client and his spell-checker's objections, the client shall have "owners expensed". The customer is always right, as they say. :-)

Tuol Sleng


Here are a few photos I took while I visited the Tuol Sleng Museum in Cambodia back in the summer of 2003. The pictures do not evoke what I felt while I was there. Read about the Museum on wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuol_Sleng_Museum full...
