It seems the less I am looking for examples of bad grammar, atrocious spelling and other disasters, the more I seem to find.
Maybe they should hire a team of real copywriters…

Or somebody else who will tell them that proofreading is everything, especially when you are trying to sell that very service to someone!
Sometimes all it takes is one short sentence to sum up the quality of someone’s work:

Dynamic Keyword Insertion sure has its pitfalls:
Ooops.
This morning, I woke up to a frantic email forwarded to me from an AdWords client:

Back to shaking it up!
