I swear I would never, ever let a typo slip by me. When I worked at my last job, a memo went out from the department big wig (serious head honcho) telling us to, "Please welcome all the new highers!" How can someone like that be salaried? It bothers me to no end that people who aren’t me get paid to make mistakes like that. I swear I would never, ever let a typo slip by me.

I could simply drive around the country, stopping wherever I see a sign or note with a typo, misspelling, or plain bad grammar. After correcting the error, the owners would be so grateful, they would gladly hand over beaucoup bucks for my time and trouble. I'm wondering how the ad people (who created the ad) missed it... AND the magazine staff missed it as well! My goal in life is to be a Spelling and Grammar Cop.

And you see it more and more these days. You gotta wonder how young these proofers are nowadays. I mean, they do learn now that as long as they can communicate and the other person understands, that's sufficient for grammar. I guess that extends to spelling too. "Oh, you know what I meant." :-) That kind of stuff bugs the crap out of me. And you see it more and more these days. You gotta wonder how young these proofers are nowadays.

Noelle, that made me giggle-snort.

Creature, maybe it was all part of their evil plan to confuse me so I’d stare at the article longer, make a post about it, and spread the Louis Vuitton word. Viral marketing! or something.
