properly a tired?


Looks like the person who wrote this was in a state of confusion! 'properly a tired'? Most probably, he had not known the correct spelling of 'attired' but considering the degree of seriousness in this ungrammatical sign, it is rather high. That's because this sign has been situtated at a Supreme Court. Tendency of highly educated people to be present at the Court definately exists. As such, the sign should read as "All visitors to the Court should be properly attired".
