Spelling Errors
Does it make anybody else crazy when you see misspelled words on a sign? How about in print? On a newscast? I swear, with all the computer programs out there, I don't know why anyone would, or could, misspell words these days.
Just the other day I walked by a shop in town. This shop is new. Great! I read further down the hand-written sign. "Come in to veiw our new shop." Arggh. Then there was this. "Get our advise on flower arrangements." Double aargh. Come on people. If you are making a sign and people are going to read it, maybe you should check the spelling and usage of the words first? Would you do that? I would.
But maybe we are too lazy these days. I mean, they don't even teach writing in school anymore, and by what I am seeing, spelling and grammar have also fallen by the wayside.
I think it is a sad commentary. Fine to keep the lazy spelling and grammar in a story for a character but in real life, we should be precise. Or am I just getting to be a cranky old person? Probably.....
