Confectionary & Photocopy

Dear Deli owner,

First, a quick note on spelling: confectionery is the product; whereas a confectionary is a purveyor of confections. I’m fairly sure you meant the former and not the latter, given the majority of the sign is taken up in categories of products, not your services.

Then, about the last line - what the hell? You sell Phone Cards, sure, but a Photocopy? Do you mean one Photocopy? Do you mean you have been known to Photocopy? What’s with the obvious fornication of plural and singular in this sign of yours?

Are you trying to invoke graffiti corrections?
