Oh...spelling.

Lesson of the day: Don't assume others know how to spell as brilliantly as you do.

I made that mistake a couple days ago and now it's kicking me in the butt. I assumed someone (*cough* Andrew *cough* Strickland *cough*) could spell the word "Dining". I was stupid enough to let him send a file to my printer (who is already doing me a huge favor) without me proofing it first.

Big no-no.

I saw it today for the first time and realized it was spelled "Dinning". The banners are already printed. And now we are paying extra to get them re-printed.

It's not Andrew's fault...he's a graphic designer and graphic designers don't need to know how to spell for their profession (although, it would be very helpful!). It's totally my fault.

So, maybe the lesson should be this: Always proof everything before it gets printed. Don't just assume that everything looks right and is spelled correctly.

Oy!
