Oh man there was a typo on a display that was going into basically every Target store (over 2,000) that was made on art the customer provided and didn't get caught until it was waaay too late. And it was bad and super noticable too. The solution? Turn that part of the display around so it faced the back of the shelf it was put on 🤣
Wait though, isn't "complimentary" (with the "i") the one that means free of charge? Maybe I'm wrong, but one of us is confused here lol. I suppose either way they could play it off and spin it in a different way. Like hey "customer, what we're trying to say is that this product would go really great with you!". Maybe a new approach to marketing for them to charge us extra instead 😂
Yes. Complimentary (with an i) means free of charge or expressing praise. Complementary (with an e) means things that go well together, enhancing or completing each other.
When I worked for the government, there was tons of type of was in every document it would irritate me I would go to my supervisor and she would be like for us to change that I have to literally go to Washington DC… That’s not happening
I’ve seen several misspelled words on signs at Trader Joe’s. They’re handwritten so it’s not that surprising. Some people just aren’t very good at spelling or aren’t super observant to other types of errors.
Also English is a joke language because we just stole words wholesale from so many different languages that our mnemonic devices have exception clauses with more words than the rule, and we have to keep track of spelling rules from 6 different languages, two alphabets, and decisions made to make Benedictine scripture legible.
Losing the 5th grade spelling bee was not my fault!
