Is Spelling Important in a News Release?
Is Spelling Important in a News Release?I have noticed that NGQ's news releases have many spelling errors. Will someone offer to proofread these before they go out? (Ha!)
Sometimes spelling does make a difference:
>> In an ancient monastery in a faraway place, a new monk arrived to join
his
>> brothers in copying books and scrolls in the monastery's
>> scriptorium. He was assigned to be a replicator of books that had already
>> been copied by the other monks. One day, he asked Father Florian (the
>rather
>> ancient head of the criptorium), "Does not the copying by hand of other
>> copies allow for error? How do we know we are not copying the mistakes of
>> someone else? Are they ever checked against the original?" Fr. Florian
was
>> taken aback by the observation of this youthful monk. "Avery good point,
>my
>> son. I will take one of the latest books down to the vault and compare it
>> against the original."
>>
>> Fr. Florian went down to the vault and began his verification. After a
>day
>> had passed, the monks began to worry and went down looking for the old
>> priest. They were sure something must have happened. As they approached
>the
>> vault, they heard crying. When they opened the door, they found Fr.
>Florian
>> sobbing over the new copy and the original ancient book, both of which
>were
>> opened before him on the table.
>>
>> It was obvious to all that the poor man had been crying his heart out for
>a
>> long time. "What is the problem, Reverend Father?" asked one of the
monks.
>> "Oh, my God, my God," sobbed the priest. "In the ancient book of the
>sacred
>> rites of priesthood... the word is 'celebrate'.
