    Just remember not to try to fix those problems yourself, like the two protagonists of this article did:

    http://www.commarts.com/columns/righting-wrongs.html

    Its two heroes, Deck and Herson, went on a mission trying to fix the misspelled signs across America.

They have now served a year’s probation, paid a $3,035 fine and steered clear from all National Parks for a year."
