Grammar Cop: Same Olde Story
Defendant: Silver Age Inc., Los Angeles.
Count 1: Prefix neglect, resulting in nonsensical construction.
Count 2: Affixing said error with permanence to a vehicle.
Count 3: Creating a grammatical distraction by exposing said error to drivers in the vicinity.
Report: Officer Regina of the LAGD was one of four Los Angeles drivers not talking on their mobile phones when the incident occurred. With her hands free, she was able to capture the crime in progress - aided by the fact that the vehicle was slow-moving as there are old people in it, and old people yell when you go too fast.
Fine: $230, and three free trips down Sepulveda.

Couldn't they have another count just for the confusing layout of the business name? I am distracted by "Is it 'Silver Age' or 'Silverage', and is 'silverage' even a word?" and would very likely cause a traffic jam trying to decide.

We need to contact these people. This can be fixed with a little white paint and even less blue paint. Simply paint white over all but the middle bar of the E in NONE, then extend the bar horizontally. Voila, a grammatically correct hyphen!
