Bad Grammar at Silverwood Theme Park

[rockerkiddevin]

Its funny because I've cut in line near that sign many times...lol

[kabelklan]

you know the lady that makes all of these signs is foreign...so the way she words them is whats proper grammar in her eyes...

Silverwood tends to have some quirky signs. In the same queue, there is a tree spitting out some wooden coaster track! In the one for Tremors, there are a few pictures of a guy holding onto his head advertising that you shouldn't stand up if you don't want your head to hit the tunnel.

It isn't meant to say "No cutting in line will result in your removal from park." They are two different statements. One telling you not to cut in line, and the other saying that doing so will result in your removal from the park.

So you didn't bother to read all of the other comments where I explain that my comment it tongue-in-cheek? How many time do I have to explain this to people too lazy to think before they comment?

[NorthwestCoasters17]

@mwproductions Why the hell does it matter? It doesnt confuse me one bit. And yet you probably think your so cool cause you posted this.

[selfdestructstarfuck]

notice how there's a line seperating the two?

[mwproductions]

As I've previously pointed out, a horizontal rule does not suffice.

[safetycanine]

ok.... dudes its a joke. take a chill pill.

[ZaLalo]

The improper grammar is done purposely. They obviously need to make it as short as possible and still get the point across...

[mwproductions]

Actually, there are too many words on the sign. Removal of the word, "no," would fix the grammar (the necessity of including, "the," as the penultimate word is arguable).

Plus, have you ever stood in that line? You could easily read double that amount of text in the time you spend queued up.

[ZaLalo]

Hmm...saves them money I guess...but honestly, I've stood in like every line at Silverwood. :O

So what its not that important. Cool park though. Hope they dont to what they did to geauga lake to this park. Open a water park then cancel the real one that was stupid. Who owns silverwood again I forgot.

[mwproductions]

Unfortunately, thinking that grammar and spelling are not important is too-common a mode of thought among Americans these days. And people wonder why the rest of the world thinks we're all stupid...

[ricstewart]

It is important. Case in point: you said "its" where it should have been "it's".

[abci23billionmillion]

silverwood rules. after that i went to ihop lol

[Scooter2020259725]

Seriously, they are two different messages. "no cutting in line" the "this" is understood in "(this) will result in removal from the park"

[mwproductions]

Well, yes and no. My comment is tongue-in-cheek. No one will be confused as to what the sign means. Regardless, the horizontal rule doesn't count as punctuation; it separates the title of the message from the body. Does it make sense? Yes, but it's clunky at best. Like I said in the video's description, take out the word "no", and it suddenly sounds much better.

[Scooter2020259725]

very true...

[ricstewart]

As it stands, one could argue that he or she should not be removed from the park because the sign said that "No cutting in line will result in your removal from the park". That means no one can be thrown out for cutting in line.

[FundamentallyCeri]

Well done for caring about grammar. I get really annoyed when I see stupid errors, and then I'm always told to get a life by people who, curiously, display no evidence of having lives themselves...

[mwproductions]

It's funny you should say that, as earlier this week I entered into an small imbroglio with another YouTuber who insisted that the sign's grammar is correct. When I pointed out that he had a very loose grasp of grammar, he lambasted me, insisting that I could have no way of knowing his grammatical prowess. Yes, no way of knowing, except for all of the lousy grammar in the messages he sent me.

[mwproductions]

I blocked him and reported him, but the verdict came back that repeatedly insulting a member (without any provocation) doesn't count as harassment (which is a violation of the YouTube Code of Conduct).
