Kindred Spirits

Did anyone else see this article? Apparently there is an organization (TEAL - the Typo Eradication Advancement League) that has a couple members who've been on a cross-country mission this summer to "stamp out as many typos as we can find, in public signage and other venues where innocent eyes may be befouled by vile stains on the delicate fabric of our language". (How great is that?) I understand they've been traveling cross country this summer, removing typos found on signs along the way. They'd stopped in AZ for some R&R at The Grand Canyon, when on a day off, they came across a sign that begged to be amended. Too bad for them, they got caught this time. Even more too bad for them, this sign was a one-of-a-kind original made by an artist in the 50's and cannot be replaced, so they got into BIG TROUBLE for messing with the sign. Of course, I think the whole thing is pretty hilarious. Also, of course, I have a bit of a love thang going on for this Herson guy right now. I mean, how could I not? He's been cruising the country, taking care of excess commas and inappropriately placed apostrophes (not to mention, in his journal entry, he compared himself to Mr. Gadget, in that he simply cannot "shut it off"). I ask you all, what's not to love?
