Also sometimes my finger nail hit the letter and it don't register, good example is th "the". I did hit all the letters for "the". And again if not proof read carefully it gets caught by the grammar police. Actually IMO as long as it don't change intent what the big deal?  r |
Topspinmo, that happens to all of us. You should see the things my iPad can type. In fact, some are pretty funny. Texts are the worst. My phone is always in a hurry. I try to catch the mistakes before I hit send, but sometimes they get away.
BUT, that "eclypse" mistake that went out in the weekly advertisement was different. TOTV is a business. A careful proofreading always should be part of any publication done by a business. That was not the first time that ad looked like a slap-dash job, but that error was perhaps the most glaring. If spelling is not whoever's thing, they probably know it and should ask somebody else to proofread any business publication.
Hey, Carl, thanks. I was going to post about that but I figured it would just turn into somebody around here making it my fault for noticing and then I would have to get snarky right back -- which I can do but do not like to do. Anyway, hey, Carl, thanks.
