Above the floor buttons in the elevators at work is a plaque saying DO NOT PANIC, with some instructions regarding stuck eleveator syndrome. I feel I will spend my tenure in this building *tsk-tsk*'ing every day at this horrendous rewrite to one of Douglas Adams' most famous phrases.
Don't is a perfectly cromulent word. This version is a little authoritarian by comparison.
As would be no surprise: I like Adams so much better.
Good writing in elevators is so hard to find. Le sigh!
