A company is only as good as the people it keeps, they say. Entergy, the second largest nuclear generator in the United States, has a CEO and chariman named J. Wayne Leonard. Wait, a what? A chariman? Hmm...interesting.

What exactly are the roles of a chariman? Perhaps it involves sitting around and drawing cartoons all day. One thing is certain: if Mr. Leonard's homepage is the site of his own company (which made $13 billion last year), he certainly isn't picking up on the spelling error on its main page. I say we investigate his notes for doodles...

Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) is an energy company based in New Jersey. It is one of the largest electric companies in the United States, servicing almost three quarters of New Jersey's population. Last year, the company won a Balanced Scorecard Achievement Award for its customer service results. It was also named the #1 fundraising utility in the nation by the March of Dimes.

PSEG is committed to the state of New Jersey, committed to customer service, committed to charity work, and—according to its website—has a strong "committment" to solar energy.

Though committed has two “m”s and two “t”s, commitment has only one “t.” Committing (two “t”s) might be harder than you thought!
