Every day I walk by two fire doors on the way to work. I can’t help but notice the extreme wordiness in contrast to the clear and efficient use of words in the sign on the other fire door a few feet away (see the adjacent blog entry). One has to wonder how this sign ever saw the light of day. Who wrote it? Who edited it? And how about that “instant use” terminology? Sounds like it was borrowed from a moist towelette package.
