But originally it was British + Swedish. This is quote from email I got: "Hey, Thank      you for commenting on Switched.com. That post should've read 'Swedish tourists. Thanks for catching!<br>- The Switsched team." So they fixed their mistake after my comment. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Petri]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 10th 2009 1:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</guid><description><![CDATA[it say's swedish twice dirlick!<br><br>you must be a stupid Brit!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cleo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2009 1:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</guid><description><![CDATA[Come on people.

I have seen more of this kind of typesetting where the customer missed thing that they missed and I have had to say "You signed the Proof OK to Print and that what you wanted".

I once accidentally listed a Bugaboo Bee stroller on Amazon for $259.99 instead of the MSRP of $529.99.  OOPS!  I had to cancel 8 orders we received because the company has a very strict pricing policy.  It was either lose the sales or lose our Bugaboo account!<br><br>Needless to say the boss wasn't thrilled.

I think editors have all but died out.  In every article I click these days, I notice at least one typo.  Often, I notice ghastly mistakes even in the headlines.  And here, "Typos Sends Woman..."  Subject-verb agreement must have been glossed over, I guess. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ches]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2009 6:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree with you Ches. They don't want to pay editors and proof-readers. Our local paper is worse than my high school paper EVER was! I can't believe the "journalists" went to, (and I'm assuming graduated) college!! Obit the other day read, "He is survived by his brother and wife-in-law." I mean, really!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[syl1969]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2009 9:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do you work in journalism? What a silly comment. I think you'll find everyone and their dog wants to get their opinions across (esp. Americans) online, either by blog or comments in forums. Editing is done by sub-editors or senior reporters in the case of newspapers and magazine alike, editors are more concerned by content. I believe what you were thinking of is "people don't know how to form proper sentences". ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lawrence]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 14th 2009 12:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/5-typos-that-broke-the-bank/</guid><description><![CDATA[Have seen more typos since the 1990s than ever before.  People have become careless...or they don't care.  Can't even read a published book without finding errors...including textbooks.  I have always proofread as I typed.  I don't use spell-check because I don't trust it.  If not sure of a spelling, I ALWAYS look up the word in the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition) ...a necessity in one's personal reference library.  Too often I hear: "It's no big deal"..."Who cares if it's misspelled?"..."It's the thought that's important--NOT the spelling or the typos."  Unbelievable.  Have pride in your work (all of it)!!!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2009 8:04AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
