Best. Sign. Ever.

Thanks to Alex H. for letting me rip this off. It's his photo, snapped outside a Chinese restaurant in Queens. Presumably in a quite noisy (or prostitution-heavy) area.

This rocks my world

Wait wait WAIT.

Toe the line?

I always thought it was TOW the line.

Trippy.

Also just learned what an eggcorn is. Love!

Assumption junction

Just read this (and changed it). I am copy editor; hear me fix your shit!

"The city is heavily populated with outdoor types, but also professionals who work at major companies such as Amazon.com."

Commence overreaction! WHAT?!? Are being outdoorsy and a professional mutually exclusive?!? UM ... DELETED! It will now read:

"The city is heavily populated with outdoor types, and professionals who work at major companies such as Amazon.com."

I would omit the comma after types, but I didn't want to make it sound like the outdoor types all work at Amazon.

Nobody does WHAT?

(As pointed out by Brooklyn correspondent Benjamin B.)

Deep thoughts

I always find it funny when people (myself included) preface something with, "To be honest ... " or "To tell you the truth ... " as if it's a rarity for them to be doing so.

I'm just sayin'.

Same words, different meaning

Or: So the Mile-High Club does exist!
