Just Typos

Not even Grammar Stickler is immune from missing typographical errors, as a friend just pointed out. I'd left out the "r" in Writer in the upper right ad for my eBook. How embarrassing! I was grateful for the correction and took action immediately, as I like to model what I advocate. This is why I find it annoying when someone asks for help with a piece of writing, only to respond to assistance with a huffy, "Oh, that's just a typo!" I'm especially peeved when the petitioner makes the same mistake consistently both in the writing and in email messages. That's not a typo, it's sloppy writing. Get into the habit of proofreading everything you write, even email, especially blog postings, and especially if you're trying to peddle yourself as a writer!
