Concern description
Or, that's what it seems like these days. Bad spelling is everywhere and most of it on professional websites promoting things!!!

Common examples are 'stationary' (not moving) where it should be 'stationery' (office paper etc), 'seperate' where it should be 'separate', the list is endless.

And don't get me started on the misuse, nay, abuse of the apostrophe!

What is most worrying is that it is apparent in normal business life, from reports, to shop signage, to advertising. This means no-one seems to care.

I'd like to state I am not a teacher, over 40, or one of those people who delights in spotting mistakes in films, just a regular Joe who had a decent English teacher.

Have other concerned citizens seen recent continuous examples they can list here?
