Subject: RE: And let's not overlook the grammar error...The media might be getting sloppy in the work they turn in, but I believe that as a whole, we've lost touch with the finer points of writing. Enter e-mail, MS Word, and text messaging, and even though Spelling and Grammar check exists as an option, people don't bother running it. As a proofreader, I have to watch for the exact typographical mistakes as peddle and pedal. I know that my spoken language is not as linguistically precise as my writing can be, but when I'm writing or typing anything, I at least double-check my spelling.
So the point may be: if I can check my spelling, why can't an (obviously ) overpaid sportswriter check his? |
