I have just been looking through the current edition of the "Sites Directory and handbook" and noticed on page 3 under the Technical Information listing the following heading

"Powering your wutfit" which beggars me to ask, what is a wutfit?

Oh tut-tut, proof reading is essential when producing publications!

In the days when trained and qualified keyboard operators typed everything, they would also be responsible for checking that what they submitted was correct. 

In these days where everybody has a keyboard of some sort, not many organisations bother to send stuff to the 'typing pool' so it doesn't get checked or proof-read and often not particularly well presented or displayed.

Isn't that the case. 'Work' though, had a load of roll up banners/displays professionally made ... working practices etc ... they were littered with smelling *istakes. 🙄

The way some caravans are turned out these days I would have thought notfit more appropriate.

I am sorry, but I earned my crust in the publicity and associated industries and it makes my blood boil when I see or read tardy text!!

All software and typesetting related programmes that I know of have some kind of spell checking facility so why the hell not make use them?

I suppose, MillieMaster, that it depends on were the programme is from !!

I'm a cross-word fan  & so many newspapers seem to be 'buying in' their puzzles from across the Atlantic ! Think I might have to go to Waterstones to order / buy American Dictionary &  Thesaurasisis .

 

P.S. That stricture applies on here as well -- programme  is always underlined in red  grrrrrrrrrr.
