Answer to What is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 356

Source: National Park Service of the United States.

While writing this article pertaining to a recent controversy regarding respecting the flag of the United States of America, I researched an official Internet web site of the National Park Service which purposely highlighted an error that the lyrics of the Star Spangled Banner were attributed to “B. Key, Esq.” and not Francis Scott Key.

Favorite answer by Jim F.: “Note the typo ‘Written by B. Key, Esq.’ The author, of course, was Francis Scott Key; no ‘B’ in his name..”

Favorite comment by derek: “The date of the attack is incorrect. It did not happen on the 12-13th of September 1814. It actually occurred on the 13-14th of September. As for the author, I concur with Jim F. in that Francis Scott Key was incorrectly credited as ‘B. Key, Esq.’

“The tune is not credited to the original English drinking song, ‘To Anacreon in Heaven’ but I wouldn’t say that is something that is wrong with the photograph.”

  1. The photo is confusing because it uses a hybrid English speaking North America and translated Quebec system.

    1/2e etage is one of the ways done in Quebec. 1 is for the usual system common in the U.S., Toronto-Vancouver. 2e etage for 2 in the translated French way but the system is not uniform. Some other buildings might use the RC/G for rez de chaussee/ground, 1, and 2e etage in the elevator, but not in this photo.

  2. Another big error is the open door and close door buttons. There are Braille dots but those are “open” and “close” in ENGLISH. This is a huge error in Quebec, capable of causing a fine for the language violation and almost as bad as an act of war. Below that is “marche” and “arret” which are compliant for French.

  3. I imagine the hotel is trying to avoid confusion among guests who aren’t accustomed to the ground floor being designated Floor 0 and the floor above (what Americans call “2nd floor” being designated Floor 1…but I’m not sure the attempt is successful. “2 etage,” of course, means “Floor 2” in French…but Quebec natives (who can be expected to read French signage) are likely to be confused; to them, “2 etage” is the floor equivalent to the American 3rd floor. But does anyone else wonder why there’s a blank spot for another floor above that when the hotel doesn’t have one?
