Even MORE moran signs:

English is apparently a second language. I'm not sure what the first is. The Borror! the Borror!

1. "Alls we can speak is English"???
As an ESOL tutor, I am truly appalled, altho I do find "borror" amusing.

I've had Chinese students speak better English than that. AND they could spell English words beautifully...

13. and while we're on the subject of "myriad,"
its proper usage reflects its meaning, which is "ten thousand." So "myriad of stars" would be like saing "ten thousand of stars." It's my favorite pet peeve, and I know it's snotty. But whaat they hey; it's a hobby.

4. These great signs are coming fast and furious now, is anybody
writing a book?

Compiling some sort of catalog if great political signs?

On second thought, maybe someone can do a monthly "great sign list".

I'm afraid I might miss some.

16. Some of them live in fear their kids will find out what ignorant frauds they are.
Then, the kids might be more likely to challenge parental control, and most of these folks are all about control

11. It's a matter of jamming two syllables into one note.
Power becomes pow'r, over becomes o'er

Borrower would be borrow'r, which is damn near unpronounceable.

26. I believe that we are seeing prime examples of why Repugniconvicts hate "intellectuals"
goes wayyyyy back to their anger of being knocked out in the first or second round of grade-school in-class spelling bees ...

37. I think a borror is one of those things you use to dig holes
And it's the slave of the lender because you need the money to build the dang fence before it makes sense to dig the holes. So you see, they are capable of complex thought. :)
