A friend sent me a part of this description she saw while looking for a sun visor. I checked and was able to find the full ad and there were so many errors. I assume English is not the ad writer’s first language, but you can see how important clear writing is to understanding what it is they are trying to say. It is the same for your writing. And at least the seller has a good legal team!
Grammar Giggle – Visor Issues

I am always amazed to see errors like that in printed ads. I often wonder why the printer allowed it to go then remind myself that the printer may not know any better. I’ve seen such errors in legal documents we receive, and they make my skin crawl. Fortunately for my firm, I’m an English teacher with a “thing” for grammar and spelling!
Thanks for sharing this–I just joined the site today and my eye was drawn to your column. I’m going to read “ever other” one in time!
