abominationplaque has some explaining to do. We have been assured there is no connection with the County Council. This is a private commission by someone who needs to sack his/her proofreader.

Anyone?

‘Whomever’ is pretty egregious too, tbh.
agreed. and I would have put an oxford comma after “created”. haven’t you little to be worrying about?
Apart from a rogue apostrophe, what’s wrong with it? Their, they’re there young Byrne, don’t be fretting.
They have broken Yeats’ lines up into multiple lines.
There are two spaces between each word.
The tracking on the letters is very loose and they have not been kerned
They’ve used a fake handwriting font as though it is Yeats’ signature.
The joined up letters of Yeats’ fake signature are not joined up.
Also centring every line of the verse instead of aligning it the left.
Even worse, they forgot a word – ‘Angers that are like noisy clouds have set *our* hearts abeat’. Must have taken it from the abridged Yeats.
Well he can’t turn in his grave, as there isn’t much of him there anyways.
‘Yeat’s’? Sweet heart of jasus
