Spelling Errors - Kills Professionalism!

February 2nd, 2008 at 6:58 pm by Lord Bloggit

It amazes me that people (including web designers) will go to a lot of trouble putting a professinal web site together and then they forget to proof read it!

I came across the Irish Webmaster Forum recently and surfed my way to a ‘noobie’ web designer in Galway. His site Forbairt Media looks impressive but it appears that the designer/owner has a ‘flare’ rather than a ‘flair’ for design. I sincerely hope he has ….. because his ‘flare’ for spelling isn’t the best.

I must compliment his choice of business name ….. Forbairt = Development in Irish ….. Forbairt Media …. a very good name with a very good Irish connection.

An aside note …. I reckon the word ‘receive’ is the most mis-spelt word on the internet. As soon as I see ‘recieve’ I lose (another word that gets the ‘loose’ spelling) interest in what I’m reading.

Bad spelling on a site which gives the impression that its mother tongue is English = bad service = bad business for me so I move on.

…. If you see a spelling mistake on this blog …. good for you …. in my defence ….. this blog is just a listing of my personal ramblings as I stumble through the net ….. I take  a lot more care when it’s a business/cash promoting site.

So …. the moral of my story ….. if you want your business site(s) to be taken seriously ….. get the spelling ‘rite’ or you willn’t get annie kustomers to buy your stuf.

I hope you recive my posting in good will! :mrgreen:
