People Are Getting Sloppy...


...or maybe careless or maybe it's just me...maybe I just respect the art of grammar too much.

I was reading a magazine that I really like -- a fashion glossy -- and they described a product that's name was clearly a French phrase as Spanish. The product was even from a well-known French company.

I know this magazine has a ton of editors. Many eyes see this copy before it goes to print. So how does it slip?

Then...something even worse happened.

I was reading a book by one of my favorite authors, published by a company I hold in high regard, and there it was...a spelling error.

I feel so let down.

I'm not perfect...I've made grammatical errors here and there (never hear and their). But it's usually on something only my eyes saw before publishing...like this blog. But even if I do make a mistake, it pains me.

It's a good thing there is only one way to spell "change."
