I have been guilty of some typos in my time (haven’t we all) but the press release featured here was poorly written and should not have been sent out without at minimum being edited for misspellings. There is a reason those red squiggly lines appear on word processor documents, they (usually) signify a misspelling.

Mea maxima culpa.

I keep telling Sam that he types too damn fast. Thanks for spotting his typo.

I couldn’t get too worked up over the poor editors at AVN having to clean up the sloppy releases they get, probably much more commonly then you imply by singling out this one PR firm, because that is what they are paid to do. However I do feel for the poor clients who are being represented by such a firm and paying for the “honor” of being made to seem semi-literate.
Which made my reading the first line of your next Mike South e-mail all the more interesting.

“A Canadian monk beloved among locals in the Mae Hong Son are of northern Thailand”

Obviously are was a typo meant to be area. But it did just bring home the fact that editors can fall asleep at the switch too. I was tempted to ask for a refund as the client of that PR firm deserved and should have demanded until I remembered I don’t pay for my subscription so I will shut up and keep reading them and be happy for the information they provide about a business I still love. Hopefully that PR firm will hire a copy editor for themselves soon.
