No LLM could ever replicated the stilted, officious language of British aviation signs.

@pluralistic they're the only time I've ever seen the words "Polite Notice" on a notice that was actually polite.
@pluralistic Breaking the law, breaking the law :notes:
@pluralistic the underlined Polite Notice implies impolite consequences for transgression.
@Cory Doctorow is a security restricted area an area where security is restricted? with less security?
@jabgoe2089 @pluralistic Security Restricted Area is in initial caps. It’s a real name, maybe a new band, big on TikTok but we’ve not heard of them.
@pluralistic amaze amaze amaze even the kerning is off
As a Brit I can offer some background.
The Polite Notice thing started a few years ago when people started to create signs that looked exactly like police signs (same font, colours, spacing etc) in the hope that people glancing at them would assume that they were looking at an official notice. No parking was a common one.
Then Polite Notice started to be used for other things.
Now it's just a passive aggressive signal to ask people to respect local rules.
