Why Can't Advertisers Spell Correctly?

[Kitchen2u]

:love:. . . when advertisers can't spell words! Actually spelling is one of my pet peeves . . . "cant spel? Lok it up en the dicksionery!" Hello...Spell check! I guess spell check would not have helped Merrill with their calendars...oops, did that come out of my mouth? I just wonder about advertiser trying to get business when they can't spell... Usually my misspelling is due to fat fingers!

Here's an ad that came up right here on CS:

Pampred Chef Tips, Tricks - Never Struggle Again
Recruiting, Selling, and more!

I think spelling mistakes are HILARIOUS in ads. (not in the case of the Merril calendars though)

It wasn't a spelling error. It was a numbering error. November dates are

Sunday, November 1
Monday, November 3
Tuesday, November 3
Wednesday, November 4
and so on . . .

When I called Merrill, the rep I spoke with suggested I keep one of the incorrect calendars and force my friends and family to celebrate my November 3 birthday twice.

I also hate it when they misspell things on purpose! Krispy Kreme UGH! It is almost enough to keep me from using their product!

It is one of my peeves also. I pick up misspelled words quickly. I should be a proofreader. Anyone need my services? I could use a little more $.
