In NPR's quiz show Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me (http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/) this week's Bluff the Listener segment (http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=35) had a story that would definitely appeal to ELF's grammar police.
During the hockey off-season, maybe you can volunteer to help The Typo Eradication Advancement League. (http://www.jeffdeck.com/teal/) ;-)
P.S. They didn't stump me, I figured that this had to be the true story in this segment.B-]
Whew. When I saw this headline (http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/08/22/sign.vandals.ap/index.html), I was afraid that one of our own had been pinched!
You shouldn't deface government property. But still, doesn't anybody in government think about proofreading before casting a $3,000 bronzed sign? (Is the sign really worth $3,000, or is that just what the government claims? I think bronzed house signs are about $150 and this defaced sign didn't seem a whole lot larger.)
Somewhere on the highway between Hobart and Cornell last week, we passed through a small town whose signmaker shop had a typo on the freakin' sign. I almost turned around and went back for a photo ... but didn't, figuring I'd never have a use for the photo.
