You know I was almost a spelling bee champion in the third grade.
I got third place, but we don’t really need to go into details.
I can assure you that I will never forget the word “paleontologist” ever. I try to use it every day in a sentence as my penance.
Back to my point. If you are a business owner and you are an one-person show, please check your spelling before you post to your blog/Facebook/Twitter.
Seriously.
I know, spell check is hard. Too hard.
Taking an extra two seconds is hard. Time is money.
I make spelling mistakes and sometimes the gibberish in my head makes it way onto the screen. I’ve done it too, but I strive really hard not to.
My point.
When you consistently put misspellings up for me to see, well, I start to think you are a dumb shit.
I cannot help it.
And believe me when I say I am not one of those Grammar Nazis. I am not (I just presume on your first or second mistake that you were rushed/had other things on your mind/having a bad day/ the keys on your iPhone are too small/a cat was gouging your eyeballs out/etc.). I’m sure there are tons of grammar mistakes in all of my posts because I forgot all of my honors English class rules. But you probably forgot them too.
When you make mistakes all the effing time I wouldn’t hire nor recommend you to clean my cat’s litter box.
Let us also remember that we should not be typing things for the public as a teenager would.
If I see… “its friday and omg i loveeee all of my clients so much THAT im giving u ALL 15% off,,,,,, YAY!” I will never buy a damn thing from you. Side note: commas do not take the place of ellipses.
See, when I start to think that you don’t care about spelling or looking like a complete idiot on the internet I think you suck at your business, too. Please keep me from thinking that and spell check. Here is an awesome tool to help you. Think of me when you use it.
