We all make errors, and sometimes, those errors can make us look like idiots. Especially when that error gets published out in the world, even though it likely went through a host of gatekeepers to get there. And that's why we're here. To shame those gatekeepers with an internet scarlet S. I don't expect you to be perfect. It takes a village, and every village has an idiot. But for the sake of your company's reputation, hire a village that has at least one member THAT CAN SPELL.

Not helping the stereotype

Good morning! We're starting the week off with a submission that's not a spelling fail. More of a diction fail. Have a look:

Submitted by CD
CD says this was posted by her alma mater to its Athletic dept. website. Her question, which I agree with: "If this is a "sold out event," then why tell people not to miss it? Don't we have to miss it because there are no tickets left?"

An excellent point, CD. There's more madness here than meets the eye, it would seem. Oh, LMU. Time to get your English department on the phone with your Athletic department for some sort of meeting of the minds. How many university departments does it take to produce one event poster?

Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to. That way lies madness.

(Thanks, CD!)
