For the love of Aura, people. Will it never end?

I'm filling out a grant application (for the Bereavement Center) from a place that gives out lots of money, right? You'd think they'd proofread their forms, at least. "Very clearly, please describe the project you are proposing, it's goals, purpose and importance to the Community."

ARRRRGH!!!

This rant has come to you courtesy of the San Antonio grammar whore, thank you.

In other news, the next person who writes "looses" instead of "loses" will suffer my wrath.

HOW HARD IS IT TO PROOFREAD DAMMIT???

Please note: I don't necessarily mean on lj or the web, where I can (occassionally) forgive some errors. There are people who cannot spell in spite of putting in an effort and that's fine. As long as, if they write an official or semi-official or published thing, someone else corrects it, for Cristo's sake.

ETA: There are more typos, for the love of Mike! Even in the legalese section!

You have just made my day, both by swearing by Aura and by being one of the few people I know as much of a grammar whore as I.
