I am offering my services to Celebrity at my usual hourly rate of $50. Offer them everywhere we read....including cable news banners, newspaper op-eds, many advertisements, some magazines.....etc, etc. When did schools stop teaching spelling, grammar, AND cursive writing. My grandchildren will print forever using bad spelling as they grow old..LOL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tasmanians would just love that! I wrote to Celebrity pointing out the errors of their ways .... Taz-Mania was a TV cartoon in the early 1990s, following the adventures of Taz (the Tasmanian Devil) in the land of Tazmania (based on Tasmania). The newsletter's writer probably grew up watching the program. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 4, 2021 #31 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I really think they should hire some Elementary School Children to help out. There are so many errors it is laughable. . On a recent B2B out of San Diego I received a notice to register by QR Code for our B2B Covid Test in Seattle. When I went to register it confirmed I an appointment in Seattle. We also had a B2B meeting in a Specific Conference Room - None of the rooms had names on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one that sets my hair on fire. I've seen people use it both correctly and incorrectly in the same sentence! It is very simple , people. Plural (do not use), or Possessive (use). Is is two dogs, or a dog's leash? Ask yourself this the next time you are tempted to toss in a random apostrophe. Rant over. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prost Seattle Posted November 4, 2021 #34 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I get what you’re all saying, but I will admit sometimes while typing I can’t for the life of me remember how to spell some words, and if what I type is an actual word that spellcheck doesn’t catch, well, I’ll set your hair on fire with my post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all do it on occasion....in a hurry on social media...think it doesn't matter, recipient will know what I meant...even English majors have an 'it'll do' attitoood at times.
