I suppose it can only be bad for business if people are careful enough to notice. I have posted one from a site whose name cannot be mentioned here (but it is evident in the image where it comes from).

Seriously—you have nothing better to do than point-out an obvious typo?

to writers beware... one item would be a typo
there were three instance that hit me while I was actually going to place an order.

first one was Downloable
second one was on the next page of the order process where they promise communcation with my "riter"
third one was where they wrote transferible which I think is pretty terrable (sic).

WB, you have shown yourself to be a coherent writer and your posts are mostly pretty cogent so you will have to credit that it reflects poorly on a company that advertises writing and proofreading services when its own copy is of rather poor quality. Anyone else?

point-out


point out is a separable phrasal verb. as such, it does not require a hyphen.

LMAO! Do you know what's really sad? You scour every one of most posts in search of errors, but you never find any. Is that the best you've got, little man?

You're absolutely correct. However, if you were to compare those minor errors—that were probably committed by the company's programmer—to the overall content of hundreds of thousands of words throughout the rest of the site, you would realize that your assumption is invalid in this particular instance.


UPDATE: I can confirm, after testing the order form page myself, that it is a brand new system that was not active when I last saw the page a few days ago. Plus, the errors are already gone.

no one is following you around, egomaniac.

re: writing websites that have spelling mistakes--

sure, it's bad for business. it scares literate customers away, and gives prospective writers pause. but how many customers in this industry are literate? and how many writers care about anything but getting paid? (don't answer, WB-- I'm talking about writers who are actually working in the industry, not lapsed, lazy would-be moralists who used to, maybe).
I work for a couple of sites that have horrible grammar/punctuation/spelling on their sites, and they all seem to be doing OK. in some cases, I think it's that the owners are morons. you don't have to be smart to own a small business-- "I'm a small business owner," in all too many cases, translates into, "I'm dumb as a rock, and unemployable." their giddy pride in having a cash stack makes them think that they should write their own webcopy. in other cases, I believe that the site's programmers are outsourced from wherev, and don't have authentic native US/UK/OZ English as their top priority. but in any case, I wouldn't go so far as to claim poor website writing as some sort of scam warning-sign-- unless you're paranoid, xenophobic, and/or defending your own interests by attacking others'.
