HA HA HA HA HA! Oh dear, I love that poster so much. If I hung it on my wall my colleagues would say, “Yeah, they’re cool, aren’t they…oh, NEVER use them? Wha…?” And walk away scratching their heads. Comic Sans usage punishable by death or worse in the coming Sue-topia.
I use comic sans for all my ESL worksheets – it’s the only one that prints an ‘a’ [for example] the way we write them and for new language learners that’s important!
I do have to say that my red pen hovers over that poster, itching to place a comma after “Hobo”. It’s all very well being self-righteous about typography, but what about grammar, I ask? Think of the children!
I think you should contact them. As a community service.
Despite the fact that the children probably won’t know the difference between a site and a sight, a light and a something that is lite, and their, there, and they’re. I have no hope.
Perhaps between the two of us we can ensure that there are three people in the next generation who will understand 😉

This made me laugh. When we were teenagers ‘taking the pledge’ meant promising not to drink alcohol. 🙂
