2 saintlike men who corrected grammatical errors on National Park signs were sentenced to a year's probation and ordered to pay over $3000 to "fix" the signs they corrected. Hopefully the government will at least buy new signs with the proper grammar.

Grammar Martyrs they are.

Gasp! What is the world coming to?!

That is purely amazing.



Those are the real heroes.

That's bullshit.

They are heroic. If I would have had the tools (sharpie and white-out) to fix half of the grammatically incorrect signs I've seen, I would have done it, right there on the spot. Even if I don't make it my mission to run around and look for signs in need of correction, nonetheless, I still care. It's degrading.

Haha wtf.

The poor guys got fined for trying to make the world a smarter place... Our world is fucked up lol.

ohmy.gif Does that mean they're going to change it back so it's wrong again? Jesus Christ.

"I was reluctant to disfigure the sign any further. ... Still, I think I shall be haunted by that perversity, emense, in my train-whistle-blighted dreams tonight."
This man is a legend.

They're going to be on the terrorist watch list along with the other 1 million names. targeting national parks with their weapons of mass destruction. tisk tisk tisk.

Psh, let's forget about all the child molesters out there, we have to crack down on those people fixing our stupidity!
Let's hope when they replace the signs they at least spell things correctly this time.

while they are sentencing these men who were trying to make the the world a smarter place, terrorists and thieves still running around free.
sometimes this country's politics and authorities disgusts me.

ahh the government never ceases to amaze me laugh.gif

why don't we just save all the time and money by not fixing the signs that were already "fixed"?
because there sure isnt something better that that $3000 could go to...
