“The Great Typo Hunt: Two Friends Changing the World, One Correction at a Time”
By Jeff Deck and Benjamin D. Herson
Slashing through the grammatical madness in a world of spelling and punctuation gone haywire … two humble men seek to eradicate typos, much like Dr. Jonas Salk eradicated polio.
They chronicle their comical cross-country quest for a vaccine and other efforts to reduce Type-O afflictions, across all demographics and especially among children, in “The Great Typo Hunt: Two Friends Changing the World, One Correction at a Time.”
The protagonists of TEAL, the Typo Eradication Advancement League (aka, the Typo Extermination & Annihilation Legion) fix actual typos in entertaining, authentic real-life settings. Their mission is part two-pronged campaign for heightened literacy and reduced illiteracy, and part very clever ruse to get a totally awesome book published in actual print format. However, critics claim it downplays shocking, undocumented facts that suggest typos kill at least five Americans every year.
“The Great Typo Hunt” has been hailed as “an epic, seminal, thrill ride through a post-apostropheric landscape of linguistic monkey business.”
