Typo vigilantes banned from national parks

Two self-appoint typo correctors got arrested in Grand Canyon National Park after they changed mistakes on a 60 year old sign.

You can read their story here: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/08/22/sign.vandals.ap/index.html

The two guys sound really arrogant. I mean, they apparently are from Massachusetts which they describe as being "full of colleges," which I guess makes it OK for them to change every mistake they encounter.

I mean, I don't like typos either, but it's not for me to change everyone's grammar. It just sounds really pretentious. You can listen to one of the guys spout off here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=87937893
