Found this ad online this morning while I was browsing for new clients:HI
I am looking for author to help me with my upcomming book. (Technical and non-friction author preferred.)
Of course, running a spellcheck program could have fixed the poorly spelled upcomming. But what about non-friction?
Technically, this isn’t a misspelling; spellcheck would have ignored it. Yet, if it doesn’t communicate what the writer intended, it’s a typo.
Now I’m left to wonder what the writer intended. Is s/he simply averse to conflict? Or does s/he really REALLY need an editor?
