Even the HOMElESS

It seems that no social class is immune to the lowercase L syndrome. I have now witnessed shopkeepers, homeowners, and HOMElESS alike, all exhibiting this bizarre penmanship trait. Presumably having caught the author red handed with his own lowercase L signage, this would have been a great opportunity to ask some questions and learn more about the mind of a lowercase L'er. But I chickened out, not wanting to disturb this Vietnam vet on 36th St. and Broadway in Manhattan. I think it was his little illustration of a machine gun that made me clam up.
