Grammar Cop: There's the Beef

Choking-Victim.jpg


Defendant: Various students, Parson's School of Design.

Count 1: Misdemeanor spelling.

Count 2: Misdemeanor spelling.

Count 3: Exposing every single restaurant patron in New York City to grammatical mischief.

Report: Officer was waiting for cheap sushi when the infraction was spotted on the ubiquitous New York City CHOKING VICTIM poster. Since being signed into law by Mayor Ed "How'm I doin'?" Koch in 1978, Local Law 43 has required the distribution of said poster with every restaurant license. The Fish & Lemon design was created by a coterie of Parsons students in 1997 with heavy emphasis on design and less on proofreading.

Fine: $1 per restaurant.

"Disloge," perhaps to remove oneself or be removed from spectator seating designated as above orchestra, and sometimes mezzanine levels? If the latter, a synonym could be "eject." Which is sort of close in meaning to "dislodge."

Definitely not for everybody, but certainly for somebody.
