Typo Vigilantes Get Banned From National Parks

Jeff Michael Deck and Benjamin Douglas Herson travel the nation removing typos from public signs. As you can imagine, nobody cared, that is until they 'fixed' a historic marker at the Grand Canyon. The pair were charged with vandalism, sentenced to a year's probation, during which they cannot enter any national park, and ordered to pay restitution. Deck, a Dartmouth graduate, told reporters he became passionate about grammar after winning junior-high spelling bees. It's a shame that you can't spell your way into a life.

Be careful what you fix

It's important to actually READ TFA.

They didn't just "fix" a historical marker, they vandalized an irreplaceable historical ART OBJECT -- a hand painted sign painted more than 60 years ago by the architect Mary Colter.

Idiots

Fortunately, if I read TFA correctly, they used white out... which can probably be removed.
