The Racine Dream Team has re-vamped its program, and is unveiling the Wish Upon a Smile makeover.
Write and Polish is pleased to be one of the sponsors (since 2011) supporting this wonderful service to the community. We were able to give the website copy a few finishing touches prior to announcement of the new makeover opportunity. Please check out the website, and consider if you know someone who would make a good candidate. Hot off the virtual press: Image Management's November/December newsletter. Write and Polish has been honored to serve as proofreader on this publication. Enjoy! Post scriptum: 9 December, more on SOPA and PIPA. We were entirely pleased to perform the final editing and proofreading on the copy for the website of Racine dentist Dr. Chelsea Guzzo, under the auspices of website designers Image Management.
Thanks for the opportunity to promote this local business effectively and grammatically! New addition to the Why the World Needs More Proofreaders album. Discovered here, this is a classic case where the use of spell check can't help you (the error being a real word). The money wasted as a result of this mistake would have been significant...but the worst part is the impression that it leaves of the advertiser who is, in this case, (oh, the irony), supposed to be heralding the success of their educational outcomes. Sign company personnel must have been the product of a *different* school system? We have created an album at our Facebook page with all the proof one might ever need that The World Needs More Proofreaders. The examples therein are very much of the funny-ouch variety.
10/1/2011 0 Comments Article: The Price of TyposThis article offers an interesting set of observations that, surprisingly, doesn't really make moral judgments (though does quote some pragmatic/statistical ones) about the increasing incidence of errors in published work. Rather, they do provide, for the blogger, a greater window into who the author is. Enjoy!
