Proofread Your Listings !!!

I am always amazed at how many spelling and gramatical errors I read in our local MLS listings.

 

My friend Gwen Banta highlights in her blog many that she comes across on a weekly basis.

 

Now when it comes to publications, you would think that the Editors would take extra special care to proofread, so they know exactly what is going to be broadcast to their readers.

... I guess as you will see below their are some who dont see the importance of proofreading !

 

"Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash, Expert Says " -  UM? Roger that !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers" -  Now that's taking things a bit far!  
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

"Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over " -    What a guy!
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Miners Refuse to Work after Death" -   Those good-for-nothing' lazy so-and-so's!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"War Dims Hope for Peace"  - I can see where it might have that effect! 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If Strike Isn't Settled Quickly, It May Last Awhile"  - Ya Think ???

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Cold Wave Linked to Temperatures"   - Who would have thought! 

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tourist Couple Slain; Police Suspect Homicide" - They may be on to something! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges"  - You mean there's something stronger than duct tape? 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Man Struck By Lightning: Faces Battery Charge "  - He probably IS the battery charge! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"New Study of Obesity Looks for Larger Test Group"   - Weren't they fat enough?!

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Astronaut Takes Blame for Gas in Spacecraft   - That's what he gets for eating those beans!
