Rollcall for the grammaticly correct travel pros....
 
C'mon, you've scolded us, arrogantly acted superior to our innocent typos, trashed our misuse of pentamater. Discussed proper pronouns and improper use of verbs,nouns and travelogue in general. So I say stand up. Be Proud. You are the few...the proud...the typo free. So stand up with your superiority and be counted.

There I go again, bad gyppie bad..........

I don't know if you can act as the spokesperson. You only had 2 misspelled words, one word that shouldn't have been capitalized, and a spacing error. Our leader must have more typos to be taken seriously.

As someone who works in the marketing/PR field (with a journalism degree yet--my bad), proofing and correcting incorrect punctuation is like a sickness but it's my guilty little secret and I try and keep it to myself. Case in point--we were just at Kennedy Space Center last week and I was HORRIFIED to see the following sign placed by a multi-million dollar memorial: The Astronauts Memorial. Hello? Can we not afford the extra money for an apostrophe?? These people are in charge of blasting our countrymen into space? Of course my family ridiculed my pickiness. Stop me before I correct again...

I'm actually, the queen of typos.
The book, "Eat, shoots and Leaves,"
was panned by the NY Ties book review.

To the proofreaders: Please, stop w/the hyphens. Either start a new sentence or use a semicolon to break the thought. But using hyphens to set off part of a sentence is just, well-- it's maddening.

ok...

well... howabout those darn...

makai1 Jun 25th, 2004 08:48 PM

... I just love you guys...

SusanP Jun 25th, 2004 08:49 PM

Oh, Tess, I know just what you mean about those apostrophes! A liquor store near us has a sign that says, "Chilled Wine's & Champagne's." It sends a chill down my spine every time I see it!

makai1 Jun 25th, 2004 08:51 PM

...I just can't help myself... B-)

SusanP Jun 25th, 2004 08:51 PM

One other thing: Bob Brown, "itinerary" is surely the word most often misspelled on this website!

makai1 Jun 25th, 2004 08:52 PM

SP... oh, do tell...

bonniebroad Jun 25th, 2004 08:58 PM

EMD, what do you mean - uh, I don't get it?:-!
