This Week's Reasons to Proofread...
Happy Friday! It's autumn in Virginia. The weather's beautiful, and these are some of the issues that I encountered this week...
1. Please allow amble time for the meeting. (I hope she meant "ample.")
2. I saw this on a banner outside of a beauty shop on Broad Street... "Welcome, Tasha, Hair Stylis." (Hopefully, they cut hair better than they spell.)
3. I saw this in an error message. "The number of buildings must be numeric."
4. I saw this in an email. "Let me know what your thoughts are so we can be sure that everyone has had an opportunity to voice their ideas." (We need a comma before "so." We also need to fix the "everyone/their' thing.)
Enjoy your weekend!
