Every Friday’s post is a collection of typos or grammatical errors I’ve spotted throughout the week. Sometimes they are things I find while out and about and sometimes they are things I find on the Internet. If you are anything like me, these typos drive you crazy, especially when they come from people who should know better.
I was soaking in the interesting information on an infographic about the Olympic Games when to my horror I noticed:
Published filler text! Does it get any worse? Oh dear, the credibility of the business behind this infographic just dropped. Of course, the graphic is still full of fun trivia, but this eyesore is hard to take.
Here are a few more unfortunate writing and editing mistakes I stumbled upon:
Missing words in news teasers tend to make them a little anti climatic.
This advertisement made me look twice. Is the business selling a desk with “lots of storage” or with “Lot’s storage?”
When a typo just jumps out at you, you know there were some major editing mistakes. These are easy fixes that should be caught after a quick read through.
What about you? Have you run into any writing flubs this week?
