Sometimes our quest to protect grammar requires action, not words. Which is satisfyingly ironic I suppose.

Restaurant menus are not massively verbose tomes. Nor – as the food-snobs among you are doubtless aware – should they ever be.

Whilst dining recently in the comfortable but contrived surroundings of Newcastle 'GastroPub' As You Like It, I felt compelled to take matters into my own hands:

I advise that all GrammarBlog readers and contributors take a red pen along to restaurants in future. Remember to add http://spandg.blogspot.com to your graffiti.

Oh and yes &ndash sadly I hadn't the time nor the inclination to highlight every grammatical and linguistic horror on the menu; one look at the smorgasbord of errors and trite capitalisations in the above photo ought to give you an indication of just how dreadful the whole thing was.
