Saving the World One Apostrophe at a Time
So long folks. I have decided to make a career change. I’m packing my bags and hitting the road to become a Jeff Deck groupie. You think I’m kidding?! I’m dead serious. When I heard about this guy I knew this was my calling and such a cloud clearing revelation only comes around once in a blue moon. But don’t worry; I’ll be back when the money runs out which will probably be sometime Friday.
I am about to embark on a courageous new journey as a card carrying member of the Typo Eradication Assistance League led by my new idol of idioms. King of the adverb, crusader of justice for all things precise, saving the world one apostrophe at a time. Deck is wandering the streets of America hell bent to cure the world of bad punctuation and sloppy spelling. His do-gooder philosophy of ridding the planet of this one small annoyance has made each of our lives that much better. Thank god for heroism in all forms great and small.
It must be exhausting work and the rewards few and far between. What a thankless mission and he does it with such grace and humility. It’s no small thing that Jeff has dedicated his expansive knowledge and Dartmouth education to cleaning up the streets of wayward marketers. Hey Deck, if you ever settle down and need a desk job, come on over. We always love readers who are willing to edit our copy and there is never a shortage of typos in this corner of the world. It’s not only the pen writers who need saving, us computer-typing, word-rambling, screen-staring types need a savior too. I personally suffer from a bad case of run-on sentence and could really use your help. Fedoras off to you…look out here I come!
