I don't pretend to be typo-free and have impeccable grammar and to never end a sentence in a preposition. I also am proud to say that I am no longer a grammar Nazi. Back in the day, I was throwing "its" and "yours" into grammar gas chambers without hesitation.
Nowadays, I'm a new man. I don't feel as though it's my duty to point out how you don't know the difference between there and their. However, last month, I had to draw the line with New Jersey Transit. I noticed a typo in an electronic sign on the second floor at Port Authority, and shipped a picture of it to East Village Idiot because he's the grammar Nazi I used to be. His blog is pretty much a blitzkreig against people who defile the English language.
He posted that picture on April 4, but I snapped it on April 2. I really can't tell you how long it was there before April 2. So going by that, we must honor the one-month anniversary of that sign, seeing as how as of May 2, that typo in that sign in STILL THERE!
That's where the Hitler in me comes out. Seriously. Fix that fucking thing. It's been 30 fucking days. You have employees walking around that place 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's one fucking keystroke. Fix it! Fix it! Oh! Oh! Say it! Say it!
Sorry. What happened? I lost it there for a second. Anyway, NJ Transiv is the way to go.

And the thing I don't understand is: the 't' is not near the 'v' on the keyboard. Why not 'transiy' or 'transir'? The typo makes no sense.
I don't know where to put that question mark. In or out? Sorry.
