Just the other day, Allan Keyes and I were in a wedding shop in the heart of Chinatown. Yes, there is a story there. Anyway, after my second or third hour there (at least) I had to use the bathroom. Hey, my bladder can only hold so much bubble tea. Anyway, this sign was posted on the wall:

I agree completely. Who needs to put up with that, whatever it is? I can only assume that this is what Mayor Bloomberg meant when he urged all New Yorkers to “speak grammar.”

      I sometimes wonder if it really is a translation issue. Maybe it is correct and the writer is just illiterate.
