No Dave, not over inflated, "sign" connotes a single sign, "signage" is
group of signs and their placement.

Ah, some signs in the right places.

One does like to be precise, why use six words when one will do?

You probably call a fella who's been
admitted to the bar an "attorney and counselor at law" too. I just call him
a lawyer g.

Actually I use a somewhat more colourful appellation, not suitable for
mixed company, ;-)
