The proofreader is on vacation

[BAW]

See if you can find as many typos as I did in this paragraph from the Holiday Inn Express Palm Desert website.

I guess the big corporations are cutting costs by having 3rd graders maintain their websites

Could enjoy the mature trees and the mature trees in the three-stroy atrium too?

Those were my two favorite...

There are other capitalization errors and a lot of poor sentence structure.

It's not even just the typos or grammatical errors, the writing is just so disjointed and broken it makes me cringe.

Call me a nerd all you want

I think a major corporation light Holiday Inn could at least put together an intelligent paragraph describing one of their hotels!

At least it's not a COUNTING thread zoney

Most likely it was written by the Hotel Manager...or maybe someone who works at the front desk. There are a lot of "big chain hotels" that have holding companies that run different properties in different areas. I was a bellhop in college (good tips - no funny hats) for a company called Prime Hotels....they had a raddison, Holiday iinn, a few ramadas, etc.

No, it is not counting....but did anyone catch MVD ironic humor??? Very smart...spelling grammar wrong!
