People judge you by the words you use, and the way that you spell them

Have you ever seen typos, mispellings, contradictory signs or instructions? Well, I have and I'm tired of complaining to my family and friends about it. Hence this blog. Now I will complain to the whole world. I will also post pictures and give the details of exactly where I saw the "stupidity" so as to completely embarrass whatever company is involved.

Not all typos are stupid or worthy of being posted here. Certainly, a hand-written letter may contain typos; everyone makes spelling mistakes and mistakes in grammar. But what about the company that prints up documents to be sent to all their customers? Hello, haven't you ever heard of a spell-checker? What about on a billboard? The important thing is that widely distributed and permanent documents should be checked. What about web pages? Yes, CNN sometimes has to get a story out so quickly that they don't bother to check it well, but a page on Amazon.com? What about a small software company? Would you buy a product from an unknown company when their web page looks as if written by a third grader? Think about it.

I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay. And when it's dry and ready.

Excuse me. I meant "trying ready".

That's what I love. Grammatical errors on wrapping paper used to wrap thousands of presents for young impressionable children.

I don't blame the person in China trying to English (and Yiddish) words on American wrapping paper, but you would think that someone would have checked the spelling before printing out 8.6 million rolls of the stuff.
