Bad Grammar and the Bottom Line



Now this just makes me happy. 

Adweek reports there's "evidence that slovenly prose affects the bottom line." 

Really? People actually care about correct English in advertising? Apparently, a few different studies now indicate that consumers really DO care about errors in copy – grammar mistakes, typos – to the point of it possibly swaying their decision to do business with the offending company. I guess it's not just writers, editors, proofreaders and English teachers who feel that way...

Read the article here, and rejoice.

  1. Well, we all know how I feel about this. Or rather, where my skill set is.
