C is an important part of life and language. Sure, things like beer, wine, bailouts would still be ok, but imagine going into an afé and asking for an offee? Or an appuino?

Laugh? Cry?

I saw this, a brand-new sign on the arrivals side of Pier D, Dublin Airport, coming back from London last weekend. I don't know whether to laugh or cry, whether to applaud the marketing efforts of a certain loft-access ladder company or rue the inability of the Dublin Airport Authority to check the work of a signmaker.
Maybe this isn't the worst thing in the world, and maybe 99% of the people using Pier D don't give a fiddler's, but we might aswell give up on the language if this is what they're going to do to it at the airport.
Anyway, we didn't go to the attic in the airport. I haven't emailed the Airport Authority yet, but I am considering it.
