Who else can find the typographical error in the otherwise perfectly-written welcome script on the FlyerTalk home page?
CommunityBuzz! - TypoView Full Version : Typo 0524 Dec 15, 00, 7:12 am Who else can find the typographical error in the otherwise perfectly-written welcome script on the FlyerTalk home page? wideman Dec 15, 00, 7:32 am Let's cut some slack: if the Language Police were to raise a fuss each time a Web page author improperly inserted an apostrophe while changing a noun from singular to plural, we wouldn't have time to carry on all of our other equally silly fooferaws. OTOH, I'm not sure that I'd agree completely with your "perfectly-written" analysis: far too much passive voice. [Oh, and by the way, would you mind next time using written perfectly instead of perfectly-written?] Wideman http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif ozstamps Dec 15, 00, 7:38 am 0524 - I think perhaps you mean .......... provide us with your comments. Don't worry, I will take them personally http://www.webflyer.com/welcome/frwel.htm Which is grammar, not a "typo" in the strict sense, surely? (And whilst on grammar, perfectly written NEVER needs a hyphen if we are being picky!) A very interesting page - had not seen it before. Thanks for mentioning it here. Randy has a staff of 30 something people doing this stuff. Great niche business, and a very nice guy as well. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif (And I can vouch has been very busy in the last couple days on FT related matters.) ------------------ ~ Happy Holidays! ...
