Lighten Up!

I get a few emails here and there with people that correct my spelling or grammar on our branding blog or website. Or they?re nice enough to catch a typo. One woman was nice enough to spend the time to proof read a majority of our website. She emailed me and said:?

I would never do business with a company that doesn?t know the difference between ?its? and ?it?s?. Apparently I spelled it ?it?s? instead of ?its?. An obvious typo.?

I thanked her for catching a single typo within a 100 page website. In other words, get a life. First, why would anyone spend time with this nonsense? Don?t you have more important stuff to do?

Are you that anal that you need to criticize someone over a typo? Is life that boring? If so guess what? We don?t want to work with you. We are passionate people that are creative and have fun with our work. We have relationships with our clients that REQUIRE a sense of humor.??

Lighten up folks, ya only live once.

    I have a blog, and I was re-reading my piece just before posting, only to discover that I had switched its/it’s. and I know the rule. That person doesn’t do business with hardly anyone, because – I saw this somewhere – its/it’s is THE #1 spelling error.
