My younger daughter is encouraging me to continue my education. I am actually considering it. The kids have flown the coop and I am not ready to be put out to pasture quite yet.
So I started slowly exploring it. Not even to complete a degree but because I am so very curious about things. Not calculus. No, not that. Other subjects. 🙂
My first on-line search was a nearby private, liberal arts university. Would be super convenient. I typed in the address to access their website. Was a bit dismayed when I found the description of their program that would suit an adult learner like me.
I then started poking around the website. The errors in grammar and spelling throughout the site were more than a few.
Now, nobody’s perfect. I totally get that.
But I am allowed to make all the spelling mistakes in the world. Because I am a learner. Not an institute of learning!
Of course, I feel it’s my duty to let them know that their website needs some attention.
Side note: I also let a local long-standing brewery know that their web page needed a spelling correction. And kept the administrator of an author’s Facebook page in the loop when errors glared. Can’t help myself.
If someone has a business or product they want to sell then I think it absolutely needs to be done properly and professional. On-line or not.
It is no different than the receptionist at a Doctor’s office. It helps form the first impression and is a representation of your business. Or how you do business.
Now, let me git bak to explorring mi opchins for furtha edukacation.
