Should I, or shouldn't I?

Our HR department often put up notices in the lifts or other common areas of our building about boring HR things. The current set have a glaringly obvious grammatical error, and it's not the first time. Should I email them and explain their error? On one had HR is mostly about communication and I would hope they'd appreciate some constructive feedback, on the other hand it's never a good idea to get on the wrong side of anyone from that department.
One place I worked, the HR department head would insist on using alternative instead of alternate, as in "Please remember that the canteen will shut early every alternative Wednesday." Repeated advice from innumerable people had no effect.

Make your own copy of the sign, with the error corrected and a suggestion that maybe the women in the department can be of more help in a kitchen somewhere because their grammar sucks.

Ah, the innocence of youth. If you negate the the title you will see the true purpose, inhumane and unresourceful. Never has a role been so self-inflated since Mad Jim "Balloonist" Brumpton claimed to have invented the hot air balloon. In 1937. But do not hate them. It is better to pity and mock them for having less personal skills than a games developer.
