Genesis - I forever live in terror that I'm making those mistakes and looking like a fool! When I run across something like that on another writer's blog, I always wonder if I should let them know (privately, via email) or if that would just make me look like a brat. This is especially true on blogs I really like, because I know the writer just made a mistake and isn't unaware of the rules. I know someone emailed me about a misspelling here, and I was grateful. I can see where others might not take it that way, though. Laura – There was an interesting conversation about that topic over at Screw You! this week.

I think we get a bit too cocky these days with our spellcheckers, but when I see someone write "It was his fault , two" or "Their on their way", it makes me shy away, and I suspect any client who knows grammar and spelling would, too.

Even if you keep your client's identity a secret to the general public in a post, it's also vital that they not recognize themselves. (Especially if you are complaining about them.) I've seen so many bloggers make this mistake! This advice is so true.

I was trying "not to mention them by name or give too many details" like the advice above says I should. Actually, it would be kind of fun if there really was a Poison reunion tour, wouldn't it? That stuff was "it" where I went to high school. See, you’re not working with me here. I was trying “not to mention them by name or give too many details” like the advice above says I should.
