More Reasons to Proofread...

Happy Labor Day! It's raining here. Hopefully, you're enjoying the long, holiday weekend! Here are some whoopies that I've seen recently.

1. I received an email where the writer asked, "Why don't you just Goggle them?"

2. I was watching "Mustangs Across America." The narrator said, "He had a problem with his brakes. One wrong move, and he could go careering off the track." (It was still a great show!)

3. I saw a sign that advertised "free baloon animals."

4. I saw a menu that listed "fish and chips servered with cole slaw and your choice of Caribbean or Baja dipping sauce."

5. I went to a fast food Mexican restaurant last week. They have great burritos. You can choose either beef or chicken as your meat. The worker asked me what kind of meat that I wanted. I said, "beef." She replied, "We only have steak or chicken." (I went with the steak.)

6. I saw an ad for a "Business Program Specialist." This person was offering "creative services for programs, flyers, cards, invitations, menus, claendars, and certificates." Proofreading may improve business?

7. I saw another ad for "cheap, wholesale brand shoes...best quaity products."

Happy writing (and proofreading)!
