A perfect summary of all that's going wrong with tech these days. It feels so incredibly alienating from real life and real experience.

An example of Acción Ortográfica Quito doing the Lord's work (graffiti on a wall corrected with red spray paint)

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
