Be it "Amys Nail's" or "Cambridge Motor's", for over a decade, someone has been correcting the poor English in the shop fronts and street signs in Sounth England's Bristol. Apostrphes are his main focus.
Although the identity of this self proclaimed "grammar vigilante" still remains under the cover, BBC on Monday tracked him down and followed him on one of his missions in the dark.
"I'm a grammar vigilante," he was heard saying in the BBC video. " I do think it's a cause worth pursuing."
Inspired by the street-grafitti artist Banksy, this good samaritan has been correcting 'gross' errors with the help of stickers and a self made device called 'apostrophiser'-that helps him reach the sign boards.

When asked if he considers what he does as a crime, he promptly retorts: " Well, It's more of a crime to have the apostrophes wrong in the first place."
In England, grammar is not just an educational issue. For some it can sabotage friendships and even romantic relationships.
