As I'm sure a good number of you know, I have been called a "Grammar Nazi" on more than one occasion. While I believe that is going a bit extreme, I enjoy being seen as a person who knows the grammatical rules of the English language.
Naturally, I almost went into shock today when I saw the following on a billboard:
"We support those, who served."
How can you massacre punctuation in a simple sentence on a billboard? I could understand a mistake in punctuation in a more complex sentence in a paper, but how can anyone let something that horrible slip by without someone noticing it?
How are these people still alive?

You just now noticed that sign? It's been driving me crazy for at least 2 years. I should go paint over it or something.
