Writing Boots

On communication, professional and otherwise.

Beggarz can’t be peckerz

So the other day a Writing Boots reader spots a typo in a post, and asks if I got "dinged," by lots of readers because I spelled compliment "complement."

I told him that I fired my nonexistent proofreader over the incident. Which didn't bother her much, because I wasn't paying her anyway.

    Complement is a noun. It’s A pathway in your innate immunity cascade. Your spellcheck probably wouldn’t have caught the gaff anyway.
