That annoys the crap out of me. One thing to spell poorly in email or casual "conversation". I try to always spell-check before I send an email, and check messages on forums with a spell check option.

(There isn't a spell check on these forums, is there? Am I just missing it?)

In any case I'm no snob about it. Sometimes people just want to get their idea across quickly and if they know you well they won't take the time to check. But this is a "professional" site and someone took the time to make that header graphic and didn't take half a second to proof read it (or let someone else double-check) before setting it out in front of the public. Ironic that is is a dictionary site as well! Very unprofessional.

I often see mistakes in ads in magazines... high end full color full page ads with something mispelled. These have to be EXPENSIVE ads to place, didn't they think it would be worth a quick check over before spending all that money and submitting the ad?

I do desktop publishing and I also notice software mistakes... font substitutions, cropping errors and software glitches that a professional should be aware of and know how to avoid. I know there is a time crunch in the publishing business, but these things are the image that you present to the public.

Whe faced with a deadline, we always used to say "There is never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over."
