    ....so do you also get annoyed at the signs at supermarket checkouts saying "9 items or less" instead of "9 items or fewer" ? Pedants rule OK :beerchug:

    I have been pleasantly surprised to see elevator warning signs in recent years that say "Do Not Use Lift In Event of Fire". This is an example where in earlier years they all said "Do not use Lift in Case of fire", in which case you shouldn't ever use the lift, particularly on days of high fire danger!

    In the United States, credit cards have an Expiration Date whilst anywhere else in the English-speaking world it is simply an Expiry Date

    I used to see a sign on a Victorian highway "Lyrebirds Cross" and always wondered what upset them.

    Used to be lots of signs saying: "Bill Posters Will Be Prosecuted"

    I never heard of a trial being conducted but the signs seem to have gone. Poor Bill must have been innocent!
