I saw this sign at my local grocery store today. I love how it reads like a real human being wrote it. Yes, they could have done what most businesses would do and said something like, “Stairs under construction. We apologize for any inconvenience.” But whether you’re writing a college essay, emailing a colleague, penning web copy, or yes, composing a sign for your business, communicating like a human always beats some banal recycling of words people have seen before.
