LOL! (though a direct link would be appreciated, as context is everything when measuring credibility ...) I have threatened for years to carry a fat permanent marker to correct public signs. "No, milord, it's not vandalism, it's a genuine public service and I should really get a different kind of citation." UrbanDictionary has a unique take, as always. Maybe this is a plea for soil amendment? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Drit

Why spelling and punctuation ARE important... Yes, grammar is important too. Jeanette Isabelle

LOL! (though a direct link would be appreciated, as context is everything when measuring credibility ...) I don't know the story behind the picture. I included the same link I was given. The people I hang out with like to display funny pictures but this time I laughed so hard my stomach ached. Jeanette Isabelle

VERY FUNNY! I wonder if he ever got any 'drit'?
When I lived in San Jose, CA, I had to drive under a concrete RR overpass. One day, there was a blue-painted message: "Aran Nation".
The next day or so, someone had sprayed a line of black paint through it, and written "Arian Nation, Stupid!"
It took almost a week for another person with purple paint to run a line through both previous messages and add their own: "Aryan Nation is too stupid to take seriously".
After a month or more, someone took a roller and covered it all, and adding their message: "Eddie loves Katie".

Why spelling and punctuation ARE important... I thought that too - why conjugation is important! Doug, reminds me of "Life of Brian," from Monti Python, the scene where the Romans are correcting Brian's conjugation and declination of the words.
