Gov.ph post title spelling needs correction – meetig to meeting

August 14th, 2010

Arelle V. White

I was just talking about a school zone with street signs with incorrect spelling in the US and a Philippine telecom giant Globe, now I see the same thing in our very own country, the Philippine’s official website, Gov.ph a Title on a post that spelled “meeting” into “meetig”… I see no contact link, so I put it in my website hoping it will the right person’s attention-the one who wrote the post in particular. Please check the spellings carefully, this is our very own Country’s Official Website, give it the respect and time it deserves.

Philippines Official Gazette - meeting wrong spelling

I hope to see it corrected, I already made a comment on the Facebook account of Pres. Aquino.

We will know how responsive our current administration on their online campaign are, if they truly check on our messages or just put the account there for the sake of putting one. I am optimistic they are sincere. We trust but we also validate. God bless our leaders and our nation.

Globe Telecom’s wrong spelling – Temprorily on its YM Mobile Message

August 12th, 2010

I open Yahoo and on the headline are issues on embarrasing street sign on pavements in some school areas in the United States… because instead of putting “School” it is shows “Shcool” or Scohol. I guess people (+myself) are too busy to check on spelling this days…and Philippines is not an exception. Look at this message that I receive each time I get a YM failed sending alert from Globe Telecoms. Instead of spelling “Temporarily” its “Temprorily”… I mean, this is Globe Telecommunications, one of the biggest companies in the Philippines and probably are paying their people well, but can’t give enough time to check the spelling!

Globe Yahoo Messenger Message Wrong Spelling ="Temprorily"

Globe YM Please try again later

Could it be that the person who set-up this messaging system doesn’t use Globe’s YM Messenger service for him or herself which is why he didn’t notice his wrong spelling…I don’t wonder if he doesnt….see below…Globe’s YM doesn’t seem to work alright…Coz i always get this failed sending messages quite often enough.

Globe…I hope you can check on this…before Yahoo Philippines feature your spelling on its headlines

The saying that “Nothing great was ever created without focus” is true. This reminds me of the line “too many mind” in the movie The Last Samurai starred by Tom Cruise.” Too many mind” was said by the Tom Cruise’s sparring opponent, telling him he (Tom) has too much in his mind going on, not able to concentrate enough to win a fight.
