The US Postal Service's Crack Signmaking Corps

Be sure to find them both.

I am now, for the record, totally in love with the idea of being temporally out of service.

Perhaps there's a feature in that...

To be fair, the USPS is one of the places that recent well-educated immigrants get jobs while they get their American professional credentials in order. They usually take the Civil Service Exam on one their first trips to scout out apartments and schools, and then have a job waiting for them which Immigration loves. They sign up for ESL classes in Community Ed, get registerred to complete any coursework or certification classes they will need to transfer their professional credentials, and take a couple years to get acclimated. I am not surprised by their lack of English skills.

That said, what really intrigues me about the sign is the seemingly random capitalization scheme. What is "Temporally Out"?

Who knows, maybe the sign is the result of good ol' American ignorance...maybe a time traveller who comes from the far future where grammar is fundementally different had to use the Quick Post for parts to make her time machine take her home.

I think the capitalization issue is actually a MS Word issue. If Auto-correct is turned on (which it is by default), then Word will "correct" the first letter after a paragraph break to a capital letter - because obviously if you are ending a paragraph you must be starting a new sentance...
