I Quit.

[captainsblog]

My job, this blog, everything.

I have found my higher calling in life.

And despite my being a lifelong hater of the Miami Dolphins, that calling is TEAL.

It's an acronym, though:

Jeff Deck of Boston had seen a lot of misspellings on signs around his city, and one day he decided he just couldn't take it anymore.

Deck cobbled together the Typo Eradication Advancement League and set off on a nationwide quest to repair the mistakes by any means necessary, including chalk and adhesive letters. For the next three months, the four team members will travel highways and byways wielding the red pen of justice and blogging their exploits.

To prepare for my transition to grammatical crimefighting, I'll begin with signs right here in town. That could take months. Next, there's the painstaking process of going through blog entries- mine own, but also yours (and yes, one of you, of whom I expect far better things, actually misapostrophied a word the other day).

Then there's the minor matter of covering my gas, food and all my expenses back home while I'm on my quest. I think a 10% tax on the till of any offender would be fair, yes?

Have a good time. Ill be back in a few month's.

Once you're done in WNY, head out to the Detroit area for some REAL fun...

'We except credit cards.' 'Copy's available here.'

Somehow I would suspect the Detroit Brigade of the team will be working with loaded weapons and Molotov cocktails, in order to blend in better.

I wouldn't do well with either of those.

Ill be back in a few month's.

Don't make me go Noah Webster on you.

(Other than that -- bring lots of White Out!)

Not to be fussy, but it isn't grammatical crime you're fighting, it's orthographical crime...

Here's a letter and wish of good luck for you: Fuckin' A!

It's sad that my first reaction to this post was, 'Oh, God, I hope I wasn't the one who misapostrophied!!!'

Ah, priorities.

Spelling too!

My friend lives off of what's supposed to be "Pine Mountain" but both signs read "Pine Moutain" when heading in one direction and "Pine Mtn" on the backside. It drives me NUTS and I've wanted to add the "N" via spraypaint for the last two years. ...But haven't.
