			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;d like to join a vigilante punctuation posse or a grassroots typography militia, Washington State might be the place for you.</p>
<p>In one Seattle suburb, for example, an underground group has targeted a certain &#8220;JS,&#8221; who sources say &#8220;has some serious control/micromanagement issues, and enjoys flaunting his power to tell people what to do a <em>liiiittle</em> too much. He also tends to find nasty ways to get revenge on people who contradict him.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our anonymous submitter in Helsinki, Finland says this note has been in every stall in the women&#8217;s restroom at her office for as long as she&#8217;s worked there.</p>
<p>Puzzlingly, she says, &#8220;Most all the women who work here are native speakers of Finnish, so I&#8217;m not sure why the note is mainly in English.&#8221; (Nor is she sure what the author was trying to convey with his/her choice of <a title="red yellow and green" href="http://www.photius.com/flags/horizontal_red_yellow_green_stripes.html" target="_blank">red, yellow and green</a> text.)</p>
<p><a class="flickr-image" title="foreign objects" rel="flickr-mgr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8326992@N08/2824470102/"><img class="flickr-large" title="Please be gentle with my delicate pipes. I WILL clog if you put foreign objects in me, so please use the wastebasket for paper towels, etc. Kiitos Paljon, The Toilet" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/2824470102_fc53370ae8.jpg" alt="Please be gentle with my delicate pipes. I WILL clog if you put foreign objects in me, so please use the wastebasket for paper towels, etc. Kiitos Paljon, The Toilet" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Oh, and your Finnish language lesson of the day: <em>kiitos paljon</em> means &#8220;many thanks.&#8221;</p>
