I agree. It makes a bad impression for professionals because it makes it seem as if they really COULD care less about their clients and probably should. LOL

Oh, now you are talking my language!!! LOVE THIS!!! Drives me batty. And what’s even more incredible is that I’m seeing more and more of this on supposedly professional pages, especially those belonging to direct sales folks. They usually list themselves, in BOLD type, as "So and so, IndependAnt Consultant (or Consultent) for. . . . " A spell checker WOULD pick that up, although they are not foolproof. Just this morning, I used a quote from Dr. Samuel Johnson. They had him listed (again, on a PRO-FESH-SHUN-UL page) as a “Lexcographer.” Okay, okay, I’m nitpicking as this is not a word that’s commonly used like the ones you chose. However, the word is spelled “LexIcographer,” meaning an author or editor of a dictionary. And the funny part was it had the squiggly red lines under it RIGHT ON THE SITE!!! HALLO? Doesn’t that give you a CLUE? I know. . . some folks don’t even know there is a clue to be had, especially where words and their usage is concerned. SIGH
