Symbols for worse
Symbols are difficult. In most cases they don’t work out. Some of them have to be learnt. It takes longer than reading something you already know – e.g. a word.
Awkward symbols make me sad. The arrow is at the beautiful river Saone, in beautiful Burgundy:
Source: me
Should you follow the arrow?
Do you have to follow the arrow?
Are you allowed to, if you are careful?
And here from the magazine “Der Spiegel” – oh boy:

Oh boy, because: Americans are rigorous with everything concerning their flag.
For instance: whoever wants to be president needs to wear it on the revers.
Always.
I don’t think that the editors of Der Spiegel are still allowed to enter the US.
Even my flag looks best non-shrinked and non-stretched.

From now on: whenever we see three stars we know they will be part of the stock index DAX, soon.
One means: probably not.
Says the German magazine “Wirtschaftswoche”.
I am not sure.
Will that be accepted?
I believe for most symbols the rule is:
Entrance prohibited.
