Spelling on the official site

[Danish Valiant]

Not to make a big deal out of it or anything, but I couldn't help but notice that the spelling and punctuation in this article;

 

http://www.port-vale.co.uk/news/article/20140724-micky-happy-with-progress-1778649.aspx

 

is just about abysmal...

 

English is not even my first language, and I could see it clear as day! I actually got annoyed reading it.

 

Who is supposed to proof read these things?

I understand they want to get it up in a hurry, but come on... This is embarrassing, as the official site is the clubs face to the general public.

It's been this way for years, whoever it is needs a good spanking - with a dictionary!

Is the photo of the old shop necessary?

Somebody needs to buy a spellchecker for Dave.

Dave Johnson has always published appallingly-written articles on the official website.

 

It's actually bordering on embarrassing at times.

Not all the articles on there are posted by Dave.

This is the first sentence of the article I've linked to:

 

"Micky Adams was pleased to see his players put into action things they had worked on in training as they beat Bodmin Town last night in their second of a three-match pre-season tour of the south west."

 

If you were to read that out loud, at a pace where it was understandable to everyone, you would be out of breath halfway through...

As I said before, English is not my first language, but even so, I can still see several commas missing in that single sentence alone!

They perhaps need a brake?

You are absolutely right, but unfortunately English is a second language these days. Most people can only write (or should I say type?) in text speak.

I think the standard of spelling and grammar is appalling particularly young kids!!
