I usually stay away from emails, but as this is a marketing message from a serious-looking business I’m going to share this gem from first-time Brigade member Amber!

Yesterday thousands in the Baltimore area received this email. Perhaps someone in Ramshead’s publicity department should download a browser with a spell-check component?

Thanks, Amber!

Whoever is making Facebook events for the Indigo Girls inexplicably managed to correctly spell the practically-impossible ‘Chautauqua’, and then biff on the spelling of ‘Boulder’ not once but TWICE, in two different ways!  Impressive.

Uh… I guess, in a “Perfect World” this spelling would be OK if you don’t look a little closer?

Shannon was given this wall plaque.  I think it’s admirable that she’s trying to make it work for her by saying “I do so find my daily routine to be rewarding.”

You keep that attitude, Shannon, and everyday will be better for it.  Woo, that’s kind of deep!

(Also, I see this and hear “…Wishes can come true / Whistle while you work / So hard all day / To be like other girls / To fit in in this glittering world…”)

(You’re welcome for the earworm.)

Colleen noticed with delight that the Santa Ana Zoo offers discounts for “memebers.”

Clearly this is an innovative category the SAZoo is trying to normalize.  To belong, you have to forward at least ten videos of pandas sneezing, etc. to at least ten of your friends, and you have to do it within two hours.  Or something.

Meg says this is one of her pet peeves.  I would be less charitable.

Galen found this exciting new job opportunity at Seven Days Classifieds.

She notes, and it’s true, that we can’t know whether the employer or some website editor is to blame here.  But also? “Assitant” isn’t a word, and even the most basic of spell-checks would have caught it.  It doesn’t even have the Spell-Check Excuse.
