Good guess, but unfortunately not true. ?Y Not? appears to be a car wash on Fredricksburg road here in San Antonio. At this point it is under construction, so it is difficult to see what their business is going to be.
That first sign caught my attention. It is both funny and sad. Wonder how the Spanish speaking customers interpret this sign. Perhaps they don't, so don't get their sales tax refunded.
Lowell, you make the very point that struck me when I saw there signs. Within a generation there will be no formal, written English. What will Shakespeare look like reduced to 160 characters?

DeleteI quite like the Y Not!!
ReplyDeleteThese are too much. It won't be long before the English language as we've known it will be merely an archaeological artifact!
