As a bona fide (oh look, I used a fancy Latin word!) word nerd, I have a particular fondness for gifts that we've featured here like the
grammar police mugs or
fun books for kids that play with language. But then, alas, I am imperfect. I spell
occasionally wrong the first three times, every time; and I can never remember the difference between
toward and
towards. So I thank the heavens for Mr. Strunk and Mr. White, whose dogeared
Elements of Style I bought in college
--yes, the actual
paperback book--still remains within arms-reach of my computer. So of course I'm happy to see that our friends at
Litographs have released an
Elements of Style t-shirt.
At first glance all of the tees from Litographs look like a design that conceptually represents a classic book. Then you look a little closer and you realize that the design is made up entirely of the text from that book. Really cool.
Now of course that means that it might encourage some extra attention directed at your chest--but hey, if it's from a fellow word nerd, maybe you'll find a new best friend.
Find the new Elements of Style t-shirt online at Litographs in several colors. It's also available as a tote and a poster.
