We did not feel like going out Sunday morning to listen to Celtic harp in the rain.
We changed our minds and went anyway. The sky cleared. Our reward was the wonderful lilting harp in the early August breeze.
Before we left I looked for the performer online and found her website - and the four typos mentioned in the headline.
Near the end of the session we wondered if we might buy a couple of her CD's and then I got the brilliant idea to offer a trade: proofreading for prerecorded music.
Well, she said no thanks. Her nephew did the site. She knows it's a mess. She's having a Mexican redesign it (or something about a new site and a Mexican) and, finally, she didn't think anyone reads the fine print on sites anyway.
Really? She doesn't think anyone reads it? Why put it there?
(note: it seems more like a bio than fine print, but that's just me).
Perhaps I might revise my barter approach, but to ... I just don't know what else to say.
In the shock of the moment we caved and bought a CD anyway.
I don't know whether to give her a pro bono checkup from the Message Doctor or not. At least I got another case to report from the Emergency Room.
Don't let this happen to you. Get your message checked.
Here they are - four typos on the front page -as promised.
