Quite an interesting finding, sent to me by a reader:

http://www.jeffdeck.com/teal/about.html

"This March through May, we, sworn members of TEAL, will be taking a road trip around the country to stamp out as many typos as we can find, in public signage and other venues where innocent eyes may be befouled by vile stains on the delicate fabric of our language. We do not blame, nor chastise, the authors of these typos. 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. We believe that only through working together with vigilance and a love of correctness can we achieve the beauty of a typo-free society."

What do you think? :)

If I could type right, there would never be any typos at the ends of my fingers. But that is just not the way it is.

Now blatant grammatical and spelling errors, that's one thing. But typos...everyone does those. Right?

Daniel - I hope the typo of "eradication" in your post title was deliberate ;-)
