It makes it awfully hard for people to pay attention to what you want to say.
A while back I wrote a piece on sloppy usage and poor proofreading. Since I wrote about writers using style instead of substance the other day, I’ll continue my rant here, with How to insult people with a single word…
Yes: drives me crazy as well!
And some of the typos we’re seeing these days are unpresidented.
I used to love getting free books on Amazon, until I found out most were written by people who never bothered to learn the craft of writing, never mind proofreading. It seems nowadays there are people who think mistakes are fine, because the message is so important. I don’t waste my time on books loaded with typos anymore.
Amen.
