Is it just me, or have the numbers of spelling errors gone through the roof lately?

No no. I am NOT a nitpick I swear. I actually think it's kind of funny.. funny strange AND funny ha ha.

But every single WSO I read has some kind of spelling error or word dropped out. Squeeze and sales pages with Glaring Obvious mistakes. Some marketers emails who I actually read Every Mailing from - have gone seriously out of spelling whack lol!

Big marketers, small marketers, native english or not, it seems like people are just typing so dang fast! And not checking it over.

Means nothing really, except I guess I'm starting to wonder.. why so many people are not bothering to take the time to proofread, ESPECIALLY their sales pages.

I don't let it stop me from buying a WSO if I trust the marketer or if the offer is just "too good to refuse", but it does start tallying up in some subconscious box in my brain.

Am I the only one noticing this? Or.. has it Always been that way lol!

When you see the spelling mistakes does it ever make you wonder "why not proofread?" Does it ever make you pause in your trust? Or do you just fly over it and not pay it any mind?

Did I spell everything properly in this post? hahaha (and I know my capitalization and grammar are a bit off lol)

    May be yu don't spell as much betterer as what you sup hose, and it are yu that miss spells so when yu done see werds spelled the wright way it looks rong to yu, stranger. Things have happened.

    That's what I rectum it is, cuz see, in yer second post you wrote "gah" and every won nose gah ain't no werd. I'm guessing yu ment to tipe appendectomy but it came out gah instead. Funny weigh to start off a post, with appendectomy. Are you shure you is knot jest pullen our legz?

      LOL Dennis!!! How long did it take for you to mangle that so badly hehe

      I just remembered this late night rant as I examined a sales page for a product I'm thinking of promoting. Big. Fat. Glaring. Spelling. Errors.

      As an affiliate, it makes me cringe to think of sending people to a sales page covered in spelling errors. So I'm gonna put that one out of my thoughts even though it sounds like a good product. (if I don't want to buy it because I doubt the product creator, I don't think I'd be able to sell it very well.)

      The placement and font size of the spelling errors makes a difference to me. If it's tiny, minor, or potentially unnoticeable, I'd let it slide but wow.. I mean we're talking H1 sized red screaming "I cain't speel!" hehe
