While it’s commendable that the Lex Hotel near Sinsa Station wanted to express its superior accomodations to potential customers in the English language, they seem to have forgotten a word (or added one too many?). On and above the doors of the Lex Hotel are the words “Very & Good”, exactly as is written. Since “very” is an adverb and “and” is a conjunction, there is some obvious confusion in the statement. One must assume they mean to either say “very good” or something else described by “very” that complements “good”. Regardless, the absense of that secret word and addition of the ampersand create yet another perplexing usage of English in Korea.
