Failing to make a difference in either case

It appears cross-posting from Dreamwidth no longer works; at least it didn't this time. LJ does have a strange new post editor which might explain it. Annoying! I'm using the old one for now.

If you opened a business, what kind would it be?Proofreading. It's badly needed - just look at all the apostrophised plurals - but it wouldn't be a viable

I am glad there is some distance between the majority of my sibs too.
Proofreading is definitely underrated by those self publishing on Amazon, but laziness also seemed to have infiltrated printed works too. They really shouldn't rely on spellchecker, some of the correctly spelt but wrong words can cause hilarious results.

Oh yes, I've come across those too. One of the funniest was a street kid marvelling at the "luxuriant bed" he was given to sleep in - instant mental image of a bed full of lush tropical plants.

What gets me too is glossy company brochures no one bothered to proofread because they just don't care.
