If you’ve been to the Hong Kong in Boston, the Faneuil Hall bar known for its scorpion bowls, karaoke, and wild clientele, you know that it’s not exactly the prime venue for a classy evening.
So that’s why I wasn’t terribly surprised to see this sign there last weekend:
The text:
LOST COAT TAG POLICY
If you loose or can not produce your coat check tag, you must way until the close of business, to claim your belongings.
My reaction:
NOT OKAY!
That’s the last time I go out without my Sharpie. This picture will have to do for now. But I plan on returning.

I could go for two scorpion bowls about now.

The weird thing about the lose/loose error is that it seems to be a generational thing. I’ve been teaching for 10 years, and I have noticed students making this error much more frequently now than they used to. The other one I see (if you’ll grant me a bit of flexibility on topic), which I truly do not understand, is the complete inability to spell the word “definitely” correctly: they all spell it “defiantly.” I can’t figure this out.

Beg to differ! Hong Kong is the epitome of klass, and if you ever mosey down to SRQ, I’ll show you some REAL dive bars, haha!
