Are you maximizing your member?

My Facebook friend, Stephanie Cowden Smith, is an amazing local graphic designer.  I have fun reading the notes she posts on Facebook of outrageous and often hilarious mistakes in our local print media. This morning's latest post is an ABSOLUTE SCREAM!

This is a colorful reminder to us all to exercise some skill and care in the proofreading of our marketing materials, blog posts, correspondence and emails.

Here is Stephanie's Facebook note.  Stephanie, thanks for the comic releif!  It really does leave one scratching one's head.... 



Once again, the Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce sent out one of their high quality, well written emails to their entire database. This one offers a FREE webinar which will help miximize Chamber Membership. A quick look at the Urban Dictionary shows to miximize is to maximize "the variety of world views and lifestyles you allow into your field of experience." Um. Yeah. Sure.

The big question though is raised after a bit of scrolling down... "Are You Utilizing Your Chamber Member to the Max?" Um, that's a bit of a personal question. Maybe we should ask Bob ;)

After those two doozies, I can totally forgive the missing apostrophe in "whats happening".

That is TOO funny.  Apparently they do not have a proofreading policy.  Of course on the other hand (lol) I think it is always okay to ask "BOB" when in doubt.  That conversation is probably best left alone.   ROFL   ;)

Yikes!  That is an eye-catching headline for sure.  I was hoping that this was poking fun (pun intended) at someone else.

Get too busy and make mistakes, that's is what I end up doing. Yep, I always know I should have proof read it once more after someone else has pointed my mistakes out to me. too funny.

I always enjoy Jay's Headlines Segment.  It is amazing at some of the language slip ups we see!

Or worse, DO!
