      awful grammar and typography for being carved in stone

      It’s got some chunky sentences and it needs a comma twice and a hyphen once; but is Lemmy the place to talk about this? For instance, it’s got

      • no kid-pidgen, with the lols and mids and caps.
      • not a single comma splice or a run-on sentence.
      • some punctuation to speak of; which truly sets it apart.

      Honestly, it scores above the curve, for Lemmy or for engraving. There’s surprisingly bad writing on recent monuments.

      Is the second line from the bottom in a smaller font than the rest? Apparently this person has never hand drawn any sort of banner or poster before. Classic mistake.

        Line 3 too, and also the title.
        I know but this was carved by CNC in the age of digital typography, so there’s no excuse.
