Spot The Mistake

Locked

#1 by ReeseWardley » Sat Mar 22, 2014 13:25

It often makes me chuckle when I see what looks like professional websites, or even home-made run-of-the-mill home pages that have glaring typos!

Doesn't come across professional does it? And it always looks so amateurish, and straight away puts me off wanting to sign up.

I have just viewed an ad, here on Clixsense and straight away I spot a typo

This Allows you to simulate taboacco smoking

Can you?

Now consider the advertising is centred around 'smoking' you'd think they'd take the time and trouble to either spell check their site or find errors that stick out like the proverbial sore thumb

If you want business, you want to look professional right, and typos like this don't go down well.

What do you think?

For me, it always clinks in my brain 'untrustworthy' when I see pages like that.

Should be:

This allows you to simulate tobacco smoking

However, that is poor English structure in regards to the product.

The word 'you' wouldn't be used but of course, in marketing the word 'you' is probably in the correct place.

The word 'simulate' doesn't really cut the mustard any way you look at it.

I'd probably say:

You will save money and save your health....

Or "This allows a person to simulate tobacco smoking"
