Missing comma sends wrong message
A minor omission in anti-drug signs at bus stops in North Miami Beach make it look like local police are supplying drugs, not crusading against drug use.
What was left out was a comma or dash or some sort of grammatical separator. The signs read Say NO' to Drugs from the NMB Police D.A.R.E Officers, the Miami Herald reported.
I know what the message should be, but right now it means something else, Emilio Guerra, a local resident and grammar stickler, told Mayor Raymond F. Marin in an e-mail.
Martin Outdoor Advertising placed the signs last fall as a public service. The police department plans to take them down in a few weeks.
