RE: UKNM: Design, Design, Design

[Ken Cowley]

Too true.


I do get a depressing number of CVs, pitches etc that are just plain wrong

however. I think the difference is that you don't necessarily expect market

traders to boast A levels, MSc IT courses, blah blah.


Is there a serious point for UKNM? Well as a client I just wouldn't hire

anybody who went around spraying market trader apostrophes all over the

place or confused 'infer' with 'imply', 'less' with 'fewer' and so on. And

that includes designers - I was a long time ago a Production Manager in

print, and illiterates in the studio were more trouble than they were

worth - I'd know that I would face a day blue-pencilling headlines and

standfirsts.


Perhaps it's just the old proofreader in me reacting with an overdose of

seasonal cheer...

Probably not, but I'm still under thirty and am perfectly capable of using

an apostrophe.


I don't see the over-thirties getting it right that much either - take a

look 'round the nearest market if you don't believe me :-)
