I Wonder Why
February 19th, 2025. Filed under: Wednesday's Wonders.
Why do journalists, authors and writers in general neglect spelling and grammar? I can’t understand why they just slop through a manuscript.
If they can’t be bothered to look things up, there’s always programs like spell check and Grammarly.
Some examples of not using the proper words include: berth versus birth, CV versus resume’,yea versus yeah, and accept versus except.
I know this doesn’t bother everyone. I think maybe age and what used to be taught in the educational system makes a big difference.
One last thing. Sweet iced tea grates on my nerves. Maybe these authors don’t know that down here in the south, sweet tea is always iced. Never hot. Sweet iced tea is redundant!
