  Excellent, that would have pissed off management but they couldn’t have done anything because it’s correct

    they’d just go “you know what I/the sign meant” and not concede anything

  “Drinks are only allowed in [insert room here] in screw-cap bottles, and caps must be used to close said bottles when not being actively drank from to prevent spills”

  Would be pretty straightforward I think

    This is a level of precision used only by lawyers and middle-school boys trying to see boobs during truth or dare.

    A screw-on top refers to a bottle cap that you twist on and off. By leaving out the hyphen, the sign maker opened themself up to pedantry.

    I guess they ask for bottles with screwed bottle caps.

    The cup with lid also works if the don’t want accidental spillage.

    English is my first language and I’m not sire what they’re asking for either. So a literal screw on top of the cup sounds right.
