This sign was posted in the window of the entrance door to Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus (the entrance from the parking lot, leading onto the mezzanine level):
This was either posted by SFU or by Surrey Central Mall. One of these is an institution of higher learning. The other is a business dealing with the public. Should either of these really ever use “U” instead of “you”? Perhaps using that ‘holistic approach to English writing’ which they are currently using in high schools is a bad idea.
