It gets worse -

"gym programme especially designed for you're fitness goals"

"improve peoples lives by inspiring them"

"there simply aren't any excuses to improving your health and wellbeing"

They are holding a 'seshion' next week - shall I drop off a copy of their flyer with RED PEN corrections?

You could offer them a taster proofreading session.

I think you ought to send a copy with red pen corrections to the Managing Director.

If it is a private firm, the MD is ultimately responsible for the quality (or otherwise) of the staff.

I cannot believe any outside agency would have allowed those mistakes to get through onto a flyer.

Unfortunately, of course, it might just be that the 'PR person' is the MD's partner, so s/he may know no better, or be reluctant to say anything.

There simply aren't any excuses for not improving this grammar and spelling!

I'd like to go for a taster fitness seshion, then I would bamboozle them with my superior grammar into giving me a free month's membership, and then edit my card so it said 'life memeber'. They'd never know the difference.

life memeber

TrillianAstra · 02/03/2010 09:48

If I wrote 'member' they would know it was a fake

WingedVictory · 02/03/2010 13:57

Yes, indeed! Eejits.
