We got this flyer through our office door this week. I can spot four mistakes. There may be more.
Jeeesus. Proof read, people, proof read! Where are they going with the capitals on Your and none on Christmas!? And sence? WTF!
@Kitty It’s worse than that…
Beautiful!
Apart from the lack of capitals, how do you spell “sence”? And “if your too busy”???
This was obviously typed up by the office bimbo in between nail filing jobs.
I found seven. But only if I can count Christmas spelt with a small c twice.
@Kitty I was letting the capitals slide. Was I being too generous?
@Grandad And there’s more…
@Andrew It would help if you listed your 7?? And feel free to count the little ‘c’ twice.
Absolutely Darren.
‘sence’ ‘christmas’, ‘christmas’, ‘your too busy’, ‘re-cycled’ (no need for the hyphen), it looks like they’ve put an extra space after re-cycled, ‘Your’ (capital in the middle of a sentence, why?), ‘christmas’ (again), no full stops anywhere.
As I’m into this now: no need for question marks where you’ve written “It would help if you listed your 7??” That’s not a question, as such.
I’ll get my coat.
Andrew: I’m so turned on right now. Do you have a.. a red pen?
Jo – I’m a teacher, I’ve an entire briefcase full of them.
Do you need correcting?
Technically, “Delivering you all the joys” is also incorrect syntax, if we’re going hardline here…
Yay I picked out Andrew’s 7 before reading the comments. /nerd
If I was to be really really pedantic, I see 14!
Make that 15
Folks, if you haven’t, seriously please visit the magical Christmas wonderland that is http://www.christmastreesdirect.eu/
Ugly and rotten that is.
Morons.
Oh dear….
i think they done a fine job at righting them posters.
your all a pack of bullys.
Feck you, I’ve had to list them all. Think I’ve the same as everyone else now though.
sence
christmas – no cap
No full stop after ‘this season’
christmas – no cap (again)
No full stop after ‘your office’ (again)
your (you’re)
No full stop after ‘too busy’ (again)
Double space after ‘re-cycled’
no hyphen in ‘re-cycled’
christmas – no cap (again)
No full stop after ‘after christmas’
Your – no cap needed
No full stop after ‘today’
‘Delivering you all the joys of a real christmas tree without any of the hassle’
…so. many. things. wrong. Aside from ‘christmas’ and no full stop 🙁
Marvellous website Darragh indeed 🙂
Ah, you’re ma.
The biggest error has to be the “Delivering you all the joys of a real Christmas tree without any of the hassle” line 😀
Wow – thought I was bad…
At least they didn’t call ’em “Christmas threes”…
I can’t complain with the amoutn of errors I do.
^see!
Wow! The pedantry is rife in here. I was being easy on them, just picking up on the spelling mistakes.
The one major problem I had though was with the picture. They are advertising “all the joys of a real Christmas tree without any of the hassle”, but the picture is of a fake tree. A FAKE TREE!! How stupid are these guys?
Anyway, life goes on. Merry Christmas. 🙂
Oh f*ck. The economy is doomed.
I suggest we send some Christmas gifts to the offices of this company…
to whit:
1) A dictionary.
2) A book on grammar.
3) The full stop key for a keyboard
4) A child of 6 to do their proof reading for them
5) A child of 7 to take a photo of a real tree for them to use next year
6) A calendar, so they can put in it to have their website finished before next year so people can actually order from them on-line.
7) A child of 8 to do the project management on all that.
I despair. I really do.
