		<description><![CDATA[The week before we left on vacation, my sister-in-law gave me this printout from a communication that went out at the company where she works. This memo went out to everyone in their corporation. Yes, it&#8217;s a VERY large company and there were probably thousands of folks who read this piece. Interestingly enough, the communication [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been awhile since I&#8217;ve updated my site. I apologize. I have been busy, it was summer, and time just got away from me. Anyhow, I just came across this sign (thanks to a tweet that scrolled down one of my Tweetdeck columns) and I couldn&#8217;t pass up posting it here. It&#8217;s a great addition [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy fishing. Since moving to Idaho, I have been able to do a great deal more fishing. I find it a great way to relax, enjoy God&#8217;s beautiful creation, and enjoy the good company of my brother, friends, and my family. I always look forward to spring and the anticipation that builds in getting [...]]]></description>

Their so moved but their just their to do business networking.&#8221; This was actually tweeted on Sunday by someone who has almost 95,000 people that follow their updates on Twitter. Unbelievable!

		<description><![CDATA[This past Saturday I received a letter from a prominent university in Spokane, WA. The letter, on official university letterhead, detailed a piano sale from their music department. The letter was fine&#8230;until the very last sentence. At that point, they blew it. Credit cads? Sigh&#8230; This is the problem with relying on a spellchecker. The [...]]]></description>

My initial reaction was, &#8220;good grief, I can&#8217;t believe they missed that mistake.&#8221; My second reaction was, &#8220;hey, I need to save that for the blog!&#8221; So, I quickly did a screen capture and [...]]]></description>

The ironic thing about this particular sign is that it is near the front of a school (Woodland Middle School, by the Comcast Building)! You would think/hope that one of the teachers would have called someone about the error on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is proofreading important? Here’s a great example of why you need to double check your work. It’s also a good example of a poor printing company. A company who produces material for other organizations really should be responsible enough to double check the content they are printing. Five minutes of time reviewing the project [...]]]></description>
