Slashdot Mirror
The Great Typo Hunt
jamie writes "Incensed by a 'no tresspassing' sign, Jeff Deck launched a cross-country trip to right grammatical wrongs. He enlisted a friend, Benjamin D. Herson, and together they erased errant quotation marks, rectified misspellings and cut unnecessary possessive apostrophes. The Great Typo Hunt is the story of their crusade." We have already covered the duo's fight with The National Park Service.
Let me correct that for you.
Another grammar Nazi.

What is pimiping?

but it's totally ok to complain about someone who complains about someone who complains about bad grammar.

Don't quote me on this.
Can you use the word "whoosh" in a sentence?

I bow to your superior grammar Nazism.
Well, superiority is one of the things Nazis always go on about....
"Whoosh", wrote the slashdotter with a smile on his face, feeling superior to the parent poster but slightly uneasy, for he was haunted by the possibility of nourishing a troll instead of educating the masses.
My personal favourite was at a fast food Chinese place. The sign? "No. MSG"
I took that to mean that if you asked a question the answer would be "No." Followed by "MSG"
Eg. "Do you use healthy preservatives in your food?" "No. MSG"
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
So, come on, explain to my why this is (allegedly) so. Explanations that won't be accepted:
Are you adequate?

But now we're going to have to have a debate on whether American or British rules for comma placement near a set of quotation marks are ideal, especially since you used double-quotes (traditionally American) with the British comma placement. I applaud your multiculturalism.
