Hilarious image. I’ve been “making fun” of this phenomenon for “about 5 years”. I hope you don’t mind that I used it in one of my posts. If so just say the word and I’ll take it down. I gave you credit in the post
Why would you have two ‘prime marks’ before and after any phrase? Does that cancel out and become un-prime if there are two together? Or does it signify that the following phrase is ”SUPER PRIME”, or ”SUPER DIFFERENT”?
And what’s up with playing on the geometrical meaning of prime in a notice?
The fabulous part is that someone had to read the original note, go home, type, print out, and cut out a new little sign, take two thumbtacks, and post it right underneath. Bless their heart for their commitment to the good fight.
Why not call this one “Fail”? With the quotes.
Haha! Great suggestion. I changed the name of this post to that! Love it!
Only would have been better if they’d used staples to affix the correction.

haha. what an idiot!
I would have stapled that just to be annoying.
…except they didn’t really use quotation marks at first, those are inch marks. Quotation marks are supposed to be curvy.
The whole quotation marks vs inch marks can be up for grabs, cause with some fonts quotation marks look just like that.
they aren’t quotation marks.
they aren’t called inch marks.
they are prime marks.
They are quotation marks. They “do not” belong for emphasis. They “do” belong to identify a “quote.” Hence the name, QUOTation mark.
You could view the quotation marks as signifying an ironic or false part of the sentence. Therefore, you should use staples for posting.
well done (;
