The Superheroes of Grammar
Take heart, America. A new band of superheroes has emerged.
No, they’re not rescuing damsels in distress or foiling the evil plans of villains. The Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL) is doing something much more important: They’re fixing typos.
Armed with markers and whiteout, these intrepid warriors are dedicated to “a more perfectly spelling union.”
Doesn’t that sound beautiful?
Led by the fearless Jeff Deck, TEAL is a group of young professionals that is traversing the country to find typographical errors in public places and—here’s the best part—fix them.
If they made action figures, I’d buy them. (Do you think they wear teal-colored tights?)
For more about TEAL’s noble mission, visit their Web site and blog.

I know Jeff Deck and let me tell you, tights regardless of color are not and should not be part of his wardrobe. Great guy, just no tights.

Thanks, Chris!
But can he at least wear a cape? …
