Nit-picking a reporter's English
The Oregonian's Joseph Rose reports today that Portland City Commissioner is proposing a "no-smoking ban for downtown's Pioneer Courthouse Square."
No, not a smoking ban, a no-smoking ban, complete with financial and incarceration penalties. If a smoking ban implies that smoking won't be allowed, does a no-smoking ban indicate that anyone who doesn't ignite a cancer stick upon entry will be fined and jailed?
Just askin'.
