When I was studying, other students used to pay me to proof-read their essays-it became an 'unofficial' part of my job at my old place of work too. It concerns me more when I see errors like that in a medium such as a newspaper though-surely the people paid to write public announcements should be more thorough? I used to point out errors all the time on forums, social networking sites, blogs etc ,but you're right-it isn't appreciated and it gets on people's nerves. I kept reminding myself that I'm mediocre at things other people aren't good at-would I like it if my inability to do certain things was pointed out constantly?Probably not! :D |

It also irks me when I see errors in newspapers etc as the general public will take such things as read (haha) and the spell checker has to be one of the worst culprits as people don't read through what they have written so its and it's etc will just not get distinguished between. |

Okay-if you have read the 'Maths' thread you'll know I place some reasons for my being mediocre at that, on the fact that I wasn't taught it well at all. On an ironic note, I've just realised I've put 'Aren't' when I meant 'Are' ,in my sentence. Not an English issue more a me being daft issue but still I should proof-read my own posts it seems ! :) |
