I was walking along John Street in lower Manhattan on my way to the gym, and I was rather surprised with what I saw.
Really? Not ‘Exit’? Why use ‘egress’ instead of the word preferred in every construction site in the English-speaking world? I have no actual issue with the usage ( I actually rather like the word) but I found the choice really strange. I guess this particular construction company caters to a more well-read crowd.
