I shouldn't be making fun of other people's spelling, but this screenshot from Mitt Romney's iPhone app is too good to let go by.
And perhaps it does say something about the organization - the attention to detail, the level of basic oversight. Personally, I can't imagine that I would (a) ever type that or (b) not notice it if I had typed it. And people, what is it with not using spell checkers? (Actually, I do most of my blog writing in an environment without a spell checker. But to post I then copy+paste into a browser, and bam, spell checking just happens.)
(Unfortunately, this app should have been fixed in the App Store long before anyone can see this journal entry.)
