Anti-typo vigilantes banned It surprises me that you can get banned from all national parks – who has time to enforce that? – but if I had to be banned, I'd want it to be for a cause as worthy as this.

I can certainly sympathize with the cause, but, has anyone bothered to point out to the "Typo Eradication Advancement League" that hand-lettered signs have not, by any means, been "typed?"
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, gentlemen.

Oh, burn! I hadn't even thought of that. In fact, most of their targets are grammatical errors, not typographical ones – mistakes of people being stupid, not hitting the wrong key. I admit I've been lazy about conflating the two myself, since there's no quickie term like "grammo." I should quit doing that; it lets people scapegoat their keyboards for their stupidity.
