I have a doubt

Tyrael:
Yesterday while doing practics as a tourist guide in a touristic place (obviously :P), there was a note outside that had written on it:

Due to a group visit on X day, there wouldnt [wont?] be any visits between X time and X time.
Sorry about inconvenience [sorry for any inconveniences?].

The words in the brackets its how i think it is, but then i could be wrong so thats why i ask.  :lol:

Mo:
Your corrections look good to me.

[won't]

Hmm, the statement still needs a bit of tweaking. There won't be any visits because there is a visit?

Should say, "Due to a group visit... there won't be any practice..."

Or maybe something like, "Due to a private visitation the rest of you lowlifes will have to bugger off!"

Tyrael:
Its kinda like a natural museum, the place where the giant lizards are taken care of and one of the villages where the first settlers of the island used to live completely rebuilt.

So its a visit i think, but my point is like you said, if the note says there wouldnt be any visits during that time because there is a group inside, doesnt "wouldnt" indicate a condition? so if theres a group inside theres no way youre going to enter, so it should be "wont" instead right?.

Besides "Sorry about incovenience" sounds kinda wrong to me, wouldnt it sound better with "sorry for any inconveniences"?

420:
As Mo said, "won't" is correct.

"sorry for any (singular) inconvenience" or "sorry for all (plural) inconveniences"

Only that first expression is used however.

I'll let Throbble explain the difference since she is the language master.
