I read an article recently about a guy in Great Britain going around in the dead of night fixing signs with errant spelling, grammar, and/or punctuation (yeah, even in the home of the English language people insist on using an apostrophe to denote the plural!). They've been calling him the Grammar Banksy because nobody's caught him doing his work yet.
