In honor of the guys who corrected typos across America, I decided to make a difference in the bathroom of the restaurant across the street from where I work.
(Don’t let your mind wander to unpleasant things. I’m still talking about fixing typos. There’s a chalkboard wall in there.)
Observe and report 
My mom has been a middle school teacher for 30+ years. She carries a red sharpie with her and goes in to the bathrooms between classes & lunch to repair grammar/spelling mistakes.
She always says, “if they’re going to write it; then it should at least be correct.”
She also has a punishment she calls the endless paragraph. It’s one entire smartboard as a run on sentence. No punctuation, spelling problems, no capital letters, and grammatical errors. They can’t leave until it’s been corrected.

I love that! Can you have her send it to me?

sure, no problem. I’ll see her next weekend and grab the infamous item. As a former middle school student of my mother, it is NOT the way you want to spend your after school hours. Yes, she punished me the same way. She was harder on me than anyone else in fear of the dreaded, “well, she’s your daughter…”
