MISTAKE MONDAY for Feb. 12: Can YOU spot what’s wrong?
Can you spot what’s wrong in the image below? Please post your answer as a comment. (Sorry the type is so small. If you’re on a PC, try pressing CTRL + to enlarge the image. If you’re on a phone, perhaps you can rotate your screen.)
I post these challenges to raise awareness of the importance of proofreading.
The image contains a classic mistake that you’ve probably seen many times. It’s not detected by any spell-checking or proofreading software that I’ve used. In addition to using Microsoft Word’s spell-checking feature, I use AP StyleGuard.
Aside from the blurb’s Mistake Monday problem, I like how it uses conversational language to discuss an economic term.
