I just received something truly remarkable on my LinkedIn feed, offering me a course in improving 10x attention to my posts. Remarkable?

I’m remarking that it’s full of typos.

The writer apparently slept through the grade school lesson on apostrophes in contractions, as in combining words like “do” and “not” into “don’t.” They even capitalized the DONT but forgot the ‘, which surely called extra attention to that typo!

Typos are like a spaghetti sauce stain on your white shirt. It’s all I’ll look at, to the exclusion of everything else.

You’d too.

Two typos on the same carousel page! Ahem, can’t you do better than that?

Later, they blew “let” plus “us,” which BTW is “let’s,” not “lets.”

Three in 5 pages. Ugh.

Then they claimed they’re able to teach you to write better. As in pay them to help you. I’m not convinced it’s a way to get my money’s worth.

(Not its. It’s.)

And while I’m kvetching, please don’t pluralize using an apostrophe. Apostrophic blunders like this make me cringe on seeing, my mind’s immediate assumption on educational level, and yes, we judge. You’d too.

Do I make typos? Absolutely.

You do too.

I advocate using Spell Check and Read Aloud, available to you to use on Word and Outlook to write to excel.

Don’t preach what you don’t practice well.

Yes, double apostrophe, double negative too, but don’t shoot me.
