Spot the mistakes

Frankly, I don't get to read spot.ph that often. But it seems like in the few times I do, I find several errors in their websites. It can be spelling errors, or mislabeled photos, or grammatical lapses.

Today was one of those days when I visited, and as usual, I found errors. And as Ate Vi says in her commercial:

"Not just one, but two!"

Here's the first:

I wonder what "jin forces" means? Does that mean they'll use the force of the Jins of Japan?

And here's the other:

They had a feature on seedy Filipino films, and one of the featured films was "Diligin ng Suka ang Uhaw na Lumpia." (Yes kids, there was such a movie a long, long time ago.)

The title on the poster was correct, but the movie attribution was not. It identified it as "Tuyo na Lumpia" instead of "Uhaw na Lumpia." Come on people! You just needed to read the poster to get the correct title.

Considering it's a company that has so many magazine titles, editors, writers and staff members, you'd think that Summit would be more vigilant in spotting errors in their publications - both print and on-line.

Well, they should.

These free editing tools are very useful when we need to, maybe, write an email that is free from embarassing mistakes. But, if you're looking to make sure your academic work or website content or book manuscript is ready for submission then you need professional editing and proofreading.
