Get It Write

Welcome to my blog, focusing on the mistakes and downright bad English that can be found in various outlets for the written word. I have decided to record on this blog any errors I come across; whether it be emails, restaurant menus, online articles or in the printed press. I would like to stress now that my English isn't perfect and I don't know all the rules and my intention is not to berate or preach, just to inform. I will also inevitably make spelling errors and typos myself!

Spelling Error - Groupon email

Hello again

Today's error was from an email I received from Groupon:

Organic Vegatable Delivery

This was part of the title of the email. Apart from the fact that 'VEGETABLE' is spelt wrong, there was nothing in the email about organic vegetable delivery, whatever way they spelt it! I noticed however that in today's Groupon email, the same service was advertised but they had reduced the title to organic veg delivery. Who knows whether that is because they realised the spelling mistake, or they were just trying to use less characters.

Ooh, in a blog about bad English you really ought to get "fewer mistakes" right! Keep up the good work though - I love your blogs - and how similar we are!
