Silly Signs : Language Acting Badly

Here’s another entry into the archives of -

Language Acting Badly!  






Sign on elevator being repaired  today



Nothing like totally distancing yourself from the regret by using the passive voice.  

What happened to...

"We’re sorry for the inconvenience.”

Or if it really is true regret, and I can’t imagine why because I would rather have a safe elevator than a broken one…

“We regret the inconvenience”

Have a nice day :)
