Loretta reports:
Try as I might, I couldn’t think of a way to connect today’s video to history, but no matter. “Nerdy,” I think, takes care of the category, although there might be some nerdy people who can pass an incorrectly punctuated sign in a calm and collected manner, perhaps shrugging or shaking their heads sadly.
They are not me. My hands itch to correct. But I do not, merely go on my way, grumbling or ranting, depending on whether I’m alone or in company.
But certain others take a more activist approach.
Here’s one gentleman who decided to make the world a safer place for apostrophes.

If this gentleman ever wished to take a vacation in the United States, I would welcome him wholeheartedly.
This should be a town-paid position everywhere :-)
They are not I. 😜
Nor me, neither, Ruth. ;-)
I'd like to second KarenAnne's proposition!
Ah ... my kingdom for an apostrophizer.
