I may not be an English teacher, but I'm mentally doing this exact same thing more often than I care to admit. LOL!
If you had the opportunity to do something like this, would you? What if there were absolutely no consequences involved at all?

I am an English teacher and I yell out grammar corrections at BBC news presenters all the time!

There's a billboard in my town advertising a greenhouse as "open Sunday's" and it hurts to drive by that atrocity. I understand this impulse!

There's a derelict building I go past nearly every day, that has a sign that says "Call Reguarding This Property" -- makes me bonkers :D

There's a local hospital here that has signs that read doctors center everywhere. It bugs me so much I don't even want to look at them.
I was once in a hospital that had a sign printed out on paper attached to an easel that talked about nurse's week activities. I had to correct that.
I've also changed paper signs on restroom doors that read "ladies room".

If there were no repercussions, I'd be spending my days in the library, correcting books, magazines, newspapers…
