Hi all,
Anybody can correct me if they find a blooper in my posts. I about
died the other day when Judy S. found my "malled". I laughed so hard!
I don't mind being corrected because sometimes a person who is blind
doesn't see names of things brand names, author's names and so on.
Now some folks may be more sensitive so I tend to write them privately
if I see a homonym Hop Toad or a particularly bad brand name
misspelling. I think especially on authors' names and brand names it's
OK to correct somebody publicly because others may be making the same
mistake. That's why, for example, we have books in the collection by
Tolkien that are misfiled cuz his name's been misspelled. Brand names
of computers and equipment for the blind need to be spelled correctly
because if you don't, you're not going to be able to look it up on the
net. Just my two cents on spelling.
Ann P.
