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.

Cconfusion

My friend EA is a professional communicator, so she was especially horrified to see this in her local newspaper.

Screengrab by EA
It's a tragic story, one that deserved a little more time spent on the composition and grammar of the language, to give it the respect it's due.

But really, this should have been caught by spellcheck, because RECOMMENDS is the correct spelling, and two Cs is just wrong. How odd that it wasn't, or that it was ignored. And continues to be, if you take a look.

(Thanks, EA!)
