Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.

Everything We Need to Know About the US and UK
<--- This is how American road signs say, “Keep to the right.”
This is how British road signs say, “Keep to the right.” --->
Which nation has the more optimistic outlook on life?
I'd have to say these signs are for two totally different things. I mean, being asked to keep to the right in the UK where you drive on the left? Is that some sort of u-turn sign perhaps? A UK sign that would be the equal of the US "keep to the right" sign would have to indicate "keep to the left." Not so?

ReplyDeleteThe UK "keep left" sign is just a mirror image of the blue sign above. They both point down. I chose the rarer "keep right" icon for the parallelism.
