G P S - Grammatical Pedantry Syndrome

[swanseaboydan]

Ok - it’s been done before but I want this to help myself and fellow sufferers. .
If it’s popular I may send a trophy to the best contributor engraved with ‘for you’re outstanding contribution’s’ . . .
I’d love to include screen grabs of news feeds too as many of the large publications seem not to check or proof read any of their online content . . Let it roll . .

Fail to see how that explains it to be honest, we all type on phones.

I think it's much easier to miss errors on a phone than a large screen. That's my excuse anyway.

An associate had 500 business cards printed for his new local handyman enterprise,
it bore the legend " no job to small ".

I pointed out the graphical faux pas, he was not amused nor was he convinced,
predictably his new enterprise foundered.
