Dear Readers (are there any of you left?), I apologize for my scarce postings of late. Things at work got crazy, yadda-yadda-yadda, you know the drill. Anyway, I’m back now and hope you’ll join me for more fun, political discussion, and—of course—a large helping of YouTube clips (including ones from The Office).

Now, moving on. The Tribune ran a great piece yesterday about two “typo personalities” who, “armed with Sharpies, erasers, and righteous indignation…make it their crusade to rid the world of bad signs.”

Jeff Deck and Benjamin Herson have not wasted their lives.

They fight a losing battle, an unyielding tide of misplaced apostrophes and poor spelling. But still, they fight. Why, you ask. Because, they say. Because, they must.

For the last three months, they have circled the nation in search of awkward grammar construction. They have ferreted out bad subject-verb agreements, and they have faced stone-faced opposition everywhere. They have shone a light on typos in public places, and they have traveled by a GPS-guided ‘97 Nissan Sentra, sleeping on the couches of college friends and sticking around just long enough to do right by the English language. Then it’s on the road again, off to a new town with new typos.

I particularly enjoyed this piece because of my own hatred for improper use of the English language—I am, after all, part of the best Facebook group of all time: “I judge you when you use poor grammar.” (Join us!)

Anyway, it’s a fun read. Check it out here, and visit the Typo Eradication Advancement League’s website to read more about their typo-correcting cross-country tour.

And seriously, watch the grammar and punctuation. It’s not hard.
