Pot Calling The Kettle Black

I was reading a newsletter by a fellow named Chris Brogan over little Sis's shoulder this morning. Late night for us, or is it early morning? Anyhow, this cute chick who's a journalist was guest blogging for this Brogan. Nice article too, Sissy was impressed, which is hard to do to a hardcore writer bitch like her.

Then number 7 appeared. And not like three sisters of sevens on a slot machine. This journalist was giving sound advice on how bloggers could learn from journalists and dropped the proverbial ball. Here's my response at Chris Brogan.com:

Okay, if you’re going to give advice on anything, also follow you’re own advice. If you think typos make someone look stupid - and we all make them - clean up your own. Proofread before you publish. See Anita’s typo made in number 7 below, ironic only because she’s giving advice on typos.

“Precision is key. If you carefully consider each word and each sentence, then you’ve put yourself in another realm as a writer. Precision helps you gain respect and legitimacy because is (correction, should be it, not is) shows you’re taking your writing and reporting seriously, even if you’re writing humor. At the very least, consult a dictionary, thesaurus and grammar book. All the Web site flash and dazzle in the world won’t cover up poor writing riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes. Trust me: If there’s one typo, one spelling error, someone is going to call you stupid. HELLO.

I hope Ms. Bruzzese doesn't bruise easily.
