grammar nazis!

Here’s an interesting article: Two guys took it upon themselves to tour around the US national parks.  But their goal was not to take in the splendor of our country but rather to correct grammatical errors in park signs.  I find this creates a lot of conflict with me; on the one hand I enjoy proofreading and prettifying things so that the best possible presentation is made to others but on the other hand, preservation of the past combined with a loathing for graffitti makes me hate these guys.  Of course the article goes for the most sensationalist example: a 60yr old sign for a structure in the Grand Canyon.  I would agree, don’t attack the original sign because that’s a part of history.  But then again, it’s still wrong!  This is why I don’t read news sites, they make my head hurt…
