Proofread, Please!

As a teacher of composition, I am always urging my students to proofread their work.

The White House could learn a lesson in that regard (hat tip to Cube):


Big Journalism comments:
Considering this Administration strutted into the White House behaving as though they were the most competent team of Internet geeks who would use digital media and social networking like never before, a simple thing like this really calls into question the oversight and attention to detail one should expect from our first Internet-President.
I concur because I'm particularly unforgiving when it comes to proofing copy.

And don't even get me started on Obama's many lapses in enunciation when he delivers speeches! **sigh**

  5. Duck,

  7. Hu Chu? And what did Hu Chu if Chu was at dinner. Oh well, Hu's on second?

    If chu don't know the difference in Hu and Chu , chu shouldn't be writing articles.

  8. AOW, you at least have to give Ducky high marks for consistency.

    I wonder how many people in the protocol office spell the word ask as axe. This could explain the insult.
