I just received a Guest blog post from a reputable blog I follow. The writing was absolutely horrible and obviously no one bothered to proofread the post before it was published. I can certainly tolerate an occasional typo, but this was so bad I nearly gagged. The useful information that was being conveyed was killed by the messenger. So much so that some sentences made no sense at all. Agree. I just received a Guest blog post from a reputable blog I follow.

Absolutely egregious spelling errors in every article. Needless to say, I won't be buying that magazine again.

Spelling seems to be a dying, underrated skill nowadays. So many of us are accustomed to seeing that squiggly red line appear when something isn't kosher, and it lulls us into a sense of complacency. No squiggles means perfect, right? Nope. Not even close. I'm probably just being bitter. My glory days from the Moody Courier spelling bee are so far behind me... Always a good move.

Consult a dictionary if you're in the least doubt. A spelling error in a business letter (especially in someone's name) is a ticket to the cylindrical file. And check the spelling, VERY carefully.
