It's probably used on this plaque, which has some awful grammar and typography for being carved in stone:

Lets Roll

Is the second line from the bottom in a smaller font than the rest? Apparently this person has never hand drawn any sort of banner or poster before. Classic mistake.

Line 3 too, and also the title.
I know but this was carved by CNC in the age of digital typography, so there's no excuse.

It's got some chunky sentences and it needs a comma twice and a hyphen once; but is Lemmy the place to talk about this? For instance, it's got

  • no kid-pidgen, with the lols and mids and caps.
  • not a single comma splice or a run-on sentence.
  • some punctuation to speak of; which truly sets it apart.

Honestly, it scores above the curve, for Lemmy or for engraving. There's surprisingly bad writing on recent monuments.
