Bad news as the Typo Eradication Advancement League have been shut down. These two guys went around America correcting all the grammatical errors on signs and public space in a mission to actually make people's everyday grammar and use of English better. LOL.

Sadly they were caught in Grand Canyon Valley Park 'defacing' a sign that was missing various apostrophes and commas. They were about to re-spell 'emense' when the feds closed in. They've been banned from all US national parks, had their site shut down and have to pay $3000 in repairs.


Thanks to them the English-speaking world was a little bit more literate.

An apostrophe walks into a bar. He storms up to the bar and in a frantic tone demands;
'Have you seen my wife? She's always hanging out in these kind of places. She's a redhead, about 5' 6", probably wearing jeans and a shirt. Have you seen her? I have a photo somewhere, hang on.'
While the apostrophe scrabbled around for his wallet the barman folded his arms knowingly and remarked;
'Ah. So you're the possesive type.'
