This is not Justice


We've all seen signs that are grammatically incorrect. Signs that say things like, "Game's half off!" or "Oranges .95 cents!"

Things like that, right?

Well, a couple of young whippersnappers took it upon themselves to start correcting this egregious behavior in national parks. They even had a name: the Typo Eradication Advancement League.

And they had a blog, too. Right now, it's pretty bland, but they've managed to get links popped up on message responses on websites like StuffWhitePeopleLike.com, and apparently had some sort of contest going on based on viewer submissions.

Sadly, as the news story indicates, their righteous quest was cut short by government authorities who apparently didn't like the idea of having very old, though deeply flawed, posters corrected. So now they have to pay a fine, for really doing the right thing (after all, children see these signs, and children who don't learn to write correctly are handicapped later in life).

And, anyway, they were doing the sort of thing many of us only dream about. They're heroes, people! Heroes!
