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.

I want a new drug.

Good morning! Coffee/morning beverage in hand? Maybe a little pastry to get the day going? Well done. Let's get this party started.

This is just silly. Take a look:

Look, seriously. No one wants to see any indication that their doctor (or anyone involved with the practice) might not have studied hard in school. Advice is the noun. ADVISE is the verb. The action. Also, in the previous paragraph, isn't it usually called a scrip and not a script? And also, if you're typing, can't you just type all the letters? I mean, it's not a tweet. THERE'S ROOM.

I understand that this was likely done by the staff of the office, and not the doctor, but as a person running a business, wouldn't you at least like to see the stuff that your clients see when they enter your business? As I said, this would make me uncomfortable. If the doctor/staff doesn't know which word to use, will they know which drug to prescribe me? This is totally not me being sarcastic. If I saw something like this at a doctor's office, I would totally think that. It would freak me out. I'd totally check out ALL the diplomas on the wall when I got to the office, and quietly judge each and every school involved.

Oh, come on. Like you've never done that.

(Thanks, AW and LJ!)
