Yesterday Bradford posted this picture from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. The metal benches throughout the museum have various factoids cut into them. Pretty cool. Except, as a commenter named Adam pointed out, this sentence needs some help. Makes me wonder if the museum has any other benches with similarly grammatically challenged sentences. Here’s what Adam wrote:
Okay, this place is a museum? For, like, teaching our children and whatnot? If so, then how does a sentence like the one above literally get itself cut into metal? The grammar is horrible. It’s barely even English. Exactly how many “lives” does an average person get these days? I could have sworn we each got just one. How about:“The average person accidentally eats 430 bugs each year of his or her life.”
Or, better still:
“The average person accidentally eats 430 bugs per year.”
