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!
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

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