No Apostrophe Left Behind

Just when I thought we had heard the last of TEAL, I find the grammar vigilantes' new book was released this week. Actually I had not given much thought to the former "Typo Eradication Advancement League" since reading about their exploits the summer of 2008. The League made news after going a little too far with their grammar zeal by defacing a historic national park sign at the Grand Canyon. TEAL disappeared from the public for the year that followed their misadventure, but now they are back and, according to their website, planning another "adventure." Far be it from TBATC to stand against proper grammar and its adamant supporters, but we will miss the entertainment that comes from quirky and ironic misspellings if TEAL fully accomplishes their goal.
