Defendants: Tribeca Tavern, New York City; Crate & Barrel, San Francisco

Count 1: Negligent transposition of letters.

Count 2: Professional printing of grammatical malfeasance.

Count 3: Mounting grammatical malfeasance in a public area.

Report: Prior to walking into a pipe on the way to the men's room at Tribeca Tavern, officer noticed faulty attempt to warn him of low-hanging pipes and captured it with a photographic device. In a moment of amazing synchronicity, Officer West of the San Francisco Special Grammar Unit was exactly 2,900 miles to the west (no relation), capturing said offense at Crate & Barrel.

Fine: Free drinks/Free drinkware. Mandatory attendance of grammatical sensitivity training for all parties.

Ever noticed how the word "minimalist" has morphed into a synonym for "shoddy crap with an expensive price tag"?

No doubt these transgressions were perpetrated by the notorious (and dyslexic) "E before I except after C" gang.

Is the "low cieling" a comment on Britney and all self destructive pop tarts?

Wow the dyslexic's come out in force!

I think the misspelling in the Tribeca Tavern sign may be intentional. If it had been spelled correctly, no one would give it a second
look. Because of the glaring misspelling, most observers are forced to take a second look!
