2008 Typo Hunt – The Typo Eradication Advancement League Tours America Correcting Errors

April 10, 2008 Blog No Comments

Sworn members of The Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL), folks who pledge to dedicate themselves to “a more perfectly spelling union”, have been traveling across the US stamping out as many typos as they can find. While a typo-free society may be a long way off, TEAL members say they believe “that only through working together with vigilance and a love of correctness can we achieve the beauty of a typo-free society.”

“We do not blame, nor chastise, the authors of these typos,” the TEAL website explains. “It is natural for mistakes to occur; everybody will slip now and again. But slowly the once-unassailable foundations of spelling are crumbling, and the time has come for the crisis to be addressed.”

TEAL ends their cross country adventure in May. Read the TEAL blog for daily updates, photographs of the typos spotted, and humorous stories about the project and the people they met along the way.
