Have you noticed how easy it is to avoid reading? Have you? Take note of your car dashboard, for example. Cute little photos have replaced the words wipers and lights. If the driver cannot read and has to rely on pictures, how did they pass a driving test? Who reads the map for them when they're lost? Oh wait! That's right! We have navigation systems that provide verbal directions as to which way to turn and when. Shouldn't we be able to figure those things out for ourselves? Are we lazy?
The next time you place a fast food order at your favorite automated take-out convenience store pay attention to whether your options for condiments are words or photos indicating such items as lettuce, tomato, onions and/or salt & pepper.
More often than not, restrooms show clever gender specific photos rather than men or women.
And my pet peeve .................. (drum roll puhleeze) ...............
Press 1 for English?? I'm not even going there!
