Its gotten so bad, that I've considered taking around a magic marker to correct signs that are wrong.

Juniorgrrl, I agree with you, but I also think people shouold learn the special case of its and it's!! People all too often say thinkgs like, "trying to find it's way..." or something. In any case, it's not that big a deal, but I think it's something people are bad at, even in formal papers. I could care less on this board, but remember when writing something formal, its as a possessive is the one time you DON'T use the apostrophe!
Hey, Kevin! I'm really sorry for your mom about being pulled over. But, at the same time I am glad someone cares!
You know, I have often wanted to invent an electronic, LED type sign that I mount on top of my car and it writes out what I speak. Like I'd say, "Use your blinker, Bozo!" and it would print that and the person would be able to see it and "realize their mistake."
