My copywriter is terrible at spelling but is a great writer. I’m an Art Director and I am great at spelling and grammar. I check all his copy. He also checks all my Art Direction. Team work makes the dream work.
The best copywriters I ever met we’re terrible at spelling. The worst ones were the ones who’d get all pissy about spelling. Great writers are more abstract, focusing on making a big idea simple and clear. Lousy writers focus all their energy on calling out you didn’t use the correct “whose” or “their.”
That’s a good point. I agree with that.
The spelling’s ok but the finer details of grammar (rules like dangling prepositions, AP-style etc.), that’s all Google, baby. Feel like such a fraud when I say I’m a writer and couldn’t from memory tell you the difference between a concrete or abstract noun! 🤡
I'm so bad at spelling that, when I get a tough word right, I add an x to the end JUST to be sure spellcheck is working
Other times I spell a word so wrong, Word doesn't know what I meant.
So. Yeah. I'm with you.
OMG! I'm not alone.
I am so happy you posted this.
Yo tambien!!
I’m so bad that it’s frankly embarrassing.
Yes! And now I’m in a market where they expect me to proofread and adopt British spelling. Halp.
And you guys add y’s in all the wrong places. Tyres, pyjamas. You don’t even pronounce it pie-jamas!
