The Grammar Vigilante of Bristol

By April 3, 2017Language, Video

I love being British. The big story here today is about a grammar vigilante who has been going around his home city of Bristol for the last thirteen years correcting shop signs around the city. The secret corrector has been at it for a while, but the BBC have tracked him down and found how hard he works for proper grammar.

The mission to correct the city’s grammar is one he takes very seriously, taking his home made ‘apostrophiser’ around the city to correct signs. He works hard not to be a vandal, repairing each sign perfectly, matching up colours and using sticky apostrophes rather than permanently defacing signs.

The rumours of the sign corrector have been told around the city for years, but now the BBC’s John Kay has caught up with the mystery grammar nerd for a chat! You can listen to that interview with grammar’s answer to Banksy here
