WTF!?

Observe these three Exhibits:



Exhibit A: (left) Go Transit Bus Ticket
=======================================

Clearly marked are the messages: "TICKET MUST BE CANCELLED TO BE VALID" and "CANCEL TICKET BEFORE EACH TRIP". Well obviously! Because there's no way anyone would think the word "cancelled" might mean that the ticket was no longer valid. Of course, the nice thing about this is that once you've used up the 10 charges on the ticket and it is cancelled, you can theoretically use it forever after that. But of course, you've got to figure out how to use up the 10 charges given that it is invalid as long as it isn't cancelled. WTF!?

Exhibit B: (middle) HSR Bus Ticket
==================================

HSR stands for Hamilton Street Railway. Railway. But it's a bus ticket. And the bus company doesn't run trains. Anywhere. Nor trams. There are no rails involved in any sense of the word.

Exhibit C: (right) Twinings Tea Bag
===================================

This one is just funny. It's an English Breakfast tea tag, but it also has "The Gout Anglais" since everything here has to be labelled in English and French. I wouldn't have thought any self-respecting Frenchman would be seen dead drinking English Breakfast tea.

No wonder there is a literacy problem here in Canada.
