Pet Peeve

I was reading the local neighborhood mailer that comes out every week (which shall remain nameless), and it was giving a recipe. Three times in the article it referred to bread dough as "doe". Correction: a doe is a female deer, NOT something you knead, that would be dough.

I have the same kind of pet-peave!! i.e: their/they're/there and cordon bleu is not cordon blue. We get home owners association newsletters every so often, and you'd swear they didn't think to have someone check for grammatical/spelling errors. What do ya do?

Yep! I have taken local papers and circled mistakes. It's amazing. Apparantly they "layed off" the proofreader!
