Proof reading at at fault??

[veggiechicken]

Just received next month's GYO magazine with a rather unfortunate "error" on the covering letter

..........But, is it an error - or is this what they really think of our "advice"?



PS There are at least 5 "errors" on that letter and the one I've made is deliberate

Crumbs, that is quite shocking! Unless it's a snide sideswipe at our spelling and use of apostrophes...

I know I type before I think, but I am rather upset that they think I keep sharding with you lot.

Runs off and cries

I sincerely hope not,as no one is perpect,me for one,without us there would be no vine as we know it now.

Some articles today are too reliant on auto correct expecting it to be right everytime.

At least it's a 'd' and not a 't'

The "expert veg growing forum" zounds interesting though... anyone know the address?

Ooo...errr...Mrs!

Personally I'd rather shard in private

With 184000 answers to questions and all the friendly discussions the free advice probably is shared - but I used to be an IT geek and it may mean something different to others.

Doh! I got the wrong phallic symbol in mind again.

I wonder how much they pay a copy editor these days?

Makes you wonder what their daily correspondence must be like if word completion selects sharded rather than shared

"They" can't spell their own postal address so not much point asking where the expert forum is.
There were "experts" on here a long, long time ago but they couldn't answer the questions as well as the amateurs.

Nothing

I remember the days when proof reading in typist training was compulsory. I still read my work to check and then double check by reading it backwards - it's amazing what you can miss. Spell check? Never
