AIBU to have raised my eyebrows at this?

[CharminglyOdd]

Just received an email from the Eden Project (signed up a couple of years ago and keep getting bombarded) with the heading:

"New for Mother's Day, perfect gifts that are unforgottable"

This is not the first time I've looked at an official announcement/poster/whatever from a large-ish company and wondered why they didn't spend five minutes proofreading. I mean, unforgettable isn't even pronounced 'unforgottable'.

I probably am BU to let it bother me but, in a vaguely DailyFail sort of way, I do sometimes think standards of written English are slipping.

YANBU!

Unforgottable is a much better word

I have a certain fondness for "forgotted." Easy typo on my un-user-friendly phone.

When I receive anything with mistakes of any sort, I e-mail telling them and suggesting that poor proofreading will not do their company any good. If anything, it could well drive people away. It would certainly drive me away.

I had an e-mail the other day from my local Trading Standards Department. I e-mailed back about their use of 'exert' instead of excerpt' and 'dialing' instead of 'dialling'. Whoever it was obviously relied on her spellcheck because there is a word 'exert'. And before anyone asks, it should have been 'excerpt' because a piece from a paragraph was quoted.
