My wife constantly catches spelling, punctuation and grammar errors on news shows, ads, and so on.

While reading about a new Ford recall (bolts BREAK, axle shifts, vehicle rolls away), I saw this tidbit->

Jeep Gladiator And I thought forum spelling could be bad at times........ 1651265671765


Anyone see the issue?

Apparently the parking break is on while the parking brake is off, right? The parking break being the part where the bolt fractures and the Ford rolls away?
😜😂

I think I'll take a brake from working on the breaks.
If something brakes, it won't break any more.
I have my share of times where I misspell something, and smell chick doesn't always catch the misteaks, but good grief, journalist and proof readers and editors?? They ALL missed it?
OR, dew they count on computers to do the work for them and they don't need to think?
No more proof readers and editors in news media?

Yup; Ford is still in business.

We sometimes watch shows with CC on (British and other non-US shows, mostly) and there are lots of errors.

One which is "lead." As in the most important part of the store. It's "lede."

I will use the opportunity to apologize for our spelling and grammar on the forum in advance.

It boggles my mind though to see that huge companies don't bother hiring someone that checks the language on the releases etc.

If everything and everyone was perfect - what a dull world it would be.
I like typing in all caps ,and people tell me to stop yelling at them.
My reply ,I am getting older and its easier to see. If I was yelling at you it wont be with my fingers. No excuse, but half the letters are worn off my key board.
