Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL): Indignant about Typos
Jeff Deck is indignant over America's laissez-faire attitude toward our own language. This indignation has lead him on a crusade across the country to chronicle and try to correct America's signage typos. He calls his vigilante fight the Typo Eradication Advancement Legaue or TEAL for short.
Personally, while I think their crusade is honorable, it would be a never ending, losing battle that if left unchecked will probably end in a sanitarium.
The Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL) site seems to be down today, probably due to high traffic, but here are the links and few articles about it too.
