WRONG SLASH

posted image

This is a sign that one passes on the way from State College to Pittsburgh.  Every time I pass it, I have to fight to resist the urge to drive off the highway and run it over, for using the wrong slash and doing it in such a large typeface.

Maybe they were trying to escape the T, (trying to insert a TAB), but didn’t want to include plates:
"Notary    -Plates"

Although I do not know what plates have to do with being a notary, so that would be a weird search term.

You definitely don’t want to run the Notary command without disabling the Plates option.  No good can come of that.

It’s a shame they didn’t realize that the tab escape sequence is case-sensitive, though.
