Actually I sent them a very soft and informative email about 2 months ago.....and they are yet to do anything about it!

Maybe they've just been busy trying to earn money? Perhaps, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter. You've told them once; nothing changed so, with a "hey-ho", shrug and get on with your life.

The other thing is, of course, that your very soft email contained too many long words for them and they couldn't understand it and simply deleted it.

I sent them an email over 2 months ago to say, do you realise that your website has the word stationery spelt wrongly? I explained that stationary is used to describe items at rest and they should change it to stationery.

Nothing has been changed! So I'm sorry but the fact they are remaining ignorant, as I personally would be mortified, leaves them open to ridicule!!

Perhaps they left it just to you off

I agree that spelling pedantry can be irritating but what is really sad is that a large proportion of British adults seem unable to use their own language properly.

I've emailed d'card.

There's a mistake I saw on another website the other day. I'll just dig it up so anyone who cares can send them an email too.

Slight tangent, but WTF is 'baptismal'?

Is that a baptism where everyone is glum?

As the site is clearly aimed at children, I think it's doubly concerning that they'll be learning this piss poor grammar!

Bickering aside, this dcard website seems to make its profits from sending out greetings cards of various descriptions. Would you be happy to pay for a service that wishes your Wiff a Happy Birthday, or sends congratulations to your friends on the birth of their Boby Boy?

If they can't even get the front page of their own website correct, are they likely to care about the correct spelling of the very product they're charging for?


I bet Moanpug doesn't have this problem.

How so? Surely most of the population are educated enough to be able to spell words properly.

Not heard of dyslexia then? I know of some incredibly gifted people who can't spell - but I wouldn't dream of pointing out to them that they had made a spelling mistake in an email they had sent to me. Most of them are much more intelligent than myself so what would I gain other than inner superiority. Same goes for the forums IMHO.

And who nominated you teacher?

However text speak is a different matter.......

nobody is more intelligent than yourself, they are more intelligent than you! (clearly)

No, it's the correct adjective for the word "baptism" as in "baptismal certificate" or "baptismal font" - but yes, they can be a bit miserable at times.

I know. But they are using it as a noun.

In the OP's linked www site were all instances of stationary spelt incorrectly? If so then yes it really is quite some fopar!
