When Spell Check Matters

You all know how I love a good grammar joke or typo by now. I'm not the world expert on words and their usage, and I certainly make mistakes from time to time like anyone else, but I pride myself on knowing more than the average joe and I really enjoy finding errors that should have been caught by the people paying for an ad or printing an article, etc. Items where money has been invested and extra care should be taken.

So you may get a smile out of the fact that I appear to be rubbing off on Adam. Here's a fun one he caught when picking up the mail a few days ago.

It starts out fine and all. A flyer against casinos in Florida in attention-grabbing fonts and colors.

And obviously they know how to spell "gambling" because there it is in yellow-blocked font across the front of the postcard. But somebody didn't proofread carefully enough because they missed a big one on the back. Not even in the body text, but the title...

I know the font is in all caps and is pretty narrow, which makes it slightly more difficult to read, but really, if your whole flyer is about (or against) gambling, you should be sure to get it right in all instances.

God knows we have serious issues with cambling here in Florida, but maybe they should've saved that for a second postcard.

(Just to be clear, I didn't smudge out the phone number on the front of the postcard. I didn't even noticed it was like that until just proofreading my blog post right now. Weird.)
