“In Convinces”

By Daniel Miessler on November 6th, 2007: Tagged as Culture

So my fiance recently stayed at a hotel in a not so nice area of town. They closed off the parking lot and people were forced to park elsewhere. To apologize they left a flyer that said:

    “In Convinces” is actually an ancient Latin formation.

    “in” meaning “in” or “among”.

    “convinces” is of course the 2nd-person, present indicative future of “to win with”.

    So the sign is stating that if you are there by means of having won something then you should talk to the front desk! Perhaps your fiancée missed out on a great prize! She should drive back!

    Wow. Reading that was like nails scratching along a blackboard. Along the same lines, I was testing the latest build of our external site in order to determine if it should go live and came across “Catch the Mayem” next to an ad. After I sat at my desk and laughed, I reported it. I mean, really…
