It’s impossible to go too far to correct a typo.

Don’t believe me?

Ask they Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL), a group formed for no other reason than to correct typos on old historical landmarks.

I’m not kidding.

This group, or pair if you believe the newspapers, were just tried and sentenced for correcting a comma and apostrophe on an old Grand Canyon sign.

I think it’s hilarious. Let’s face it, our early settlers, while maybe fantastic adventurers, great athletes and tougher than we can imagine, probably weren’t all the good with the readin’, writin’ and ‘rithmetic. If they had been, why would they have left the comfort of the city to pursue the Wild West.

They wouldn’t, so now we have TEAL, who really true patriots, editors of history if you will. They do the same job the editors of the day do, just a little later.
