Now, before you get all upset with me.....I have been the latest subject of this person who goes around looking for spelling and grammatical errors in the cyber world.
I will be the first to admit, that I will sometimes make and error in spelling. However, I do generally catch those errors prior to sending anything out to anyone. But, this morning, I made up a sale graphic for my ad and quickly looked it over and caught one error, corrected it and moved on. I sent this ad out through 10 different yahoo advertising groups.
This afternoon, I notice that I had some comments to moderate and low and behold...there it was. So I jumped right over to the blog to see what was going on with me being the object of attention on someone's blog that I don't even know. You can check out the ad HERE. Now, since I don't know whether this person behind the blog is male or female, I will just say the blog owner. I left the blog owner a comment using my real identity. I will not hide from my mistakes. If I make them, I will own them. That is the way I was raised. BTW...I was born and raised in the south and we are taught to be kind and respect others. So, instead of going off on the blog owner, I thanked her for letting me know...however, I think it would have been much more appropriate to notify me personally. But, that is my opinion and I do believe in the right to free speech.
OK...dear friends...let me know what you think about this blog and the service the blog owner is providing. I can't wait to see how you feel.
Until next time!

Well I thought it was very rude, and I left a comment for the blog owner also, they could have just emailed you instead of doing it that way.
I think there is no such thing as bad publicity - your ad is being noticed more because of the error!
Hope this helps :)
Hmm...........I think it was VERY tacky of her/him to have an entire blog designated to pointing out typos.
Personally, I think they have entirely too much time on their hands if this what they do for fun.
Just ignore them..........mean spiteful people are just wanting attention. I wouldn't give them the time of day.

It's too bad that some people have nothing better to do. I agree w/ Drea...just ignore it!
I make mistakes all the time. It's not what I'm strong at, and I know it. But, I've never thought it polite to point our someone's errors without being asked to proof something, especially in a public forum...
Is this person for real?? And I thought I had a lot of time on my hands!! GOOD GRIFE----OOPS, wait--that should be GRIEF--what a TWIT I am!!!! heh heh heh !!!!
Hey, you know what? I make spelling mistakes all the time. Typos too. Spell check is my friend :-)
Why do people have to take things so seriously? We are in a time of war, economic disaster, homelessness, etc. Is having someone make light of a spelling error/typo such a big deal? Can we not just laugh at ourselves once in a while? I did go and look at the site and some of those ads are funny. Yes, he/she is poking fun but they are not using profanity or being outrageously mean. The only bad language I have seen are in the comments the readers have left behind lol
As JanMary said, bad publicity is still good publicity.
Wow..... but I do agree with intelligent comments here.... ignore it.. bad publicity is still publicity!! I can't believe that individuals have that much time either! Have a great week... and an awesome 30% of (LOL) sale!!! {{HUGS}}
