“Funny” Blog

Date April 26, 2008

Here’s some weekend fun for you fellow writing nerds like me! :) If you’ve ever cringed at a grammatical error on a public sign, you’ll appreciate this site.

The use of quotation marks on this site reminds me of the proofreading job that I had for the Valley Yellow Pages that I ended up quitting because I couldn’t stand the way that advertisers wanted to use spelling and punctuation. The ads were full of errors like “Order” Now and Make Sure U Get One!!!

    haha, leet speak in advertising! How professional. Always hard to read someone’s blog if they don’t care enough to proofread it.

    “MAN” that is crazy! Alot of us bad writers just think punctuation is there to make “action” words stand out. :)

    That certainly made me smile! I remember once being told that in terms of punctuation Trainers used exclamation marks whereas coaches use full stops - not sure how true it is.

    My spelling has got better since I went off and download iespell which is an essential tool nowadays.

    Take care
