We are not a country of English speakers. If our census reports are anything to be believed, less than 5% of the 1.2 billion Indians can speak read and write English in varying degrees of fluency and accents.  The more closer we get to emulate the American accent ( not the Queen’s accent anymore) the more trendy and upmarket you are classified under the social scheme of things.  

If you do your math 5% of 1.2 billion is a huge number.  However it is about the other 95%  that aspires to speak, read and write English in the belief that unless you are fluent with the queens language you have not arrived on your own. Not everyone gets to succeed as not everyone has the opportunity and ambience. 

Most painters (as in the ones who paint small time billboards or name boards for shops not the Artistic M.F Husain types)  are not trained in grammar and spelling as English is not the medium in which they receive their primary school education. 

If you have ended up as a painter  in the station of your life, chances are that you were a high school drop out possibly educated in your local native language. When you graduate to high school, it thankfully teaches you the English language alphabets and numerics so you manage to read and write English, without a care for grammar or spelling.

Here is the how that manifests  along in public. 

FALL SEALING that Ansu Alumimium Fabrication work can do for you is actually FALSE CEILING

WOMENS NOT ALLOWED  : a notice put up at an upmarket retail chain at the Gent’s trial room by presumably a high school educated sales girl / sales boy or their supervisor.

The best so far that I have come across was of a hospital in the outskirts of Guntur town enroute Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh.   It said the following

SRI VENKATESWARA KIDNEY, PANCREAS AND LIVER SUPPER SPECIALITY HOSPITAL.

Little would the painter have known that an Extra 'P' leads a totally different meaning to the Super speciality hospital.  But then who cares. The super specialty hospital does roaring business.

Your understand , I understand. We all understand.
