Read: Jeff Deck and Benjamin Herson - The Great Typo Hunt, Two Friends Changing the World, One Correction at a Time

Initially I was put off by the overblown, flowery language. But Jeff Deck's earnest and kind-hearted to correct errors wherever he found them won me over. And as the story went on it became less of a personal quest and more of a general inquiry into how errors come to pass in the English language, and how we might mitigate that, which was really worth reading, particularly the part that examined English language instruction in schools.

One of the stranger aspects of checking this book out of the library was that some previous reader had gone through marking up all the items that he thought were mistakes. And yet only one of them was an actual error - the others were all differences of opinion in style, or actual misunderstandings of the text and the fact that it was correct. I'd love to go through marking up all the "corrections" with a "stet", except it's unlikely that the previous reader will ever see my mark-ups. Argh.
