Count me in! At my last employer, insisting on properly written 
English, and punctuation, got me described in terms such that 'anally 
retentive' would have been a compliment.

I originally trained and worked as a typographer and it's still my 
passion. I despair at what I see all around, ugly messages set in 
ways that assault the senses, the visual soundbite.
