    Mon takes things to a new level:cheesy:

    A self-proclaimed ' grammar vigilante' has revealed he has been secretly correcting bad punctuation on streets signs for 13 years.

    The anonymous crusader carries out his work in the dead of night using the ‘Apostrophiser’ – a tool he created for the task.

    He explained that apostrophes are his speciality.

    The vigilante - dubbed grammar's answer to Banksy - started his one-man quest for perfection when he corrected a shop sign for 'Amy's Nail's' in Bristol - removing the second apostrophe.

    English is a language not a level of intelligence. Sadly a **** that wastes his time or even money going round correcting grammar cannot be very intelligent.

    I'm guessing as yourself being a Pro European you can speak many languages, or maybe not in your North London hut :)

    When I go abroad I always make an, admittedly often piss-poor, attempt at speaking the language. You'd be amazed how well even the feeblist efforts tend to be received, especially by Spanish waiters used to being asked "avez vous fish and chips pal" by retards such as yourself.
