AMEN, Brother.
Like you say, when you see all of these errors in communications directed
towards a potential buyer, you have to wonder what corners are being cut in
the actual item. BTW, spelling checkers do not assure the correct spelling
of several words. Their dictionaries are limited. They don't "know" the
usage of a word so they cannot differentiate between their and there, led
and lead, red and read, etc.

Group,
The reason I bring this up is the question of how something like that
could have happened in this age of spell checkers, etc. Obviously, a
lack of attention to detail.
As a topic for discussion, I wonder if others besides myself are
bothered by little things like the lack of attention to the small
details. For instance, if I'm looking at a company's product
literature and see a number of grammatical errors and words spelled
incorrectly it influences my purchase decision. My thoughts are, if
they don't pay attention to the small stuff, how can I be sure
they're paying attention to the details in their products?
