I'm in love, and I've never even met him...

So I was reading Reader's Digest again, just flipping through the pages absent-mindedly, dreading going out in the cold to take my dog for yet another pee, when I saw him.

Jeff Deck is his name.  I don't really like the name Jeff. I don't really like the name Deck.  But what that man can do with a little ink just makes me tremble in my readers.

Deck is the founder of a magical organization called TEAL: "Typo Eradication Advancement League."

 This...glorious, glorious man has made it his goal to, get this, travel the US with a few tools and his own post-grammar school inteligence, correcting sins against the English language wherever he goes.

Call me the biggest nerd of all time, but it irks me to no end when people who are responsible for creating ads and making signs and billboards that the general public (including impressionable young children, eek!) see on a daily basis make grammatical errors that a kindergartener should be shamed for.

It's "women's" not "womens'."  "Less" does not mean "fewer."  And yes, I WILL notice, not to mention become extremely uncomfortable, if you use the wrong form of to/two/too.  Is it that difficult to learn your own damn language?

"I started thinking about how I could change the world in my own humble way," said my future husband.

Granted, he's not fighting malaria in economically substandard countries, but he's fighting stupidity, which I'd say is an admirable (and necessary) battle.

So bravo, Deck, and may the grammar gods guide you to victory.
