proofreading dinner
Every once in a while, something happens that makes the teacher in me want to take out the trusty old red pen. This evening, while waiting for the oven to preheat, I experienced that sort of moment.
From DiGIORNO's website: For over 10 years, DIGIORNO Pizza has created advertising that is as memorable as the pizzas we produce.
Apparently, without the aid of a copyeditor.
Here is the back of the box:
Do they have something against commas? And the extra large capital letter for each word bugs me too.
On an amusing note, they may not be catering to the most cerebral customer base, as #1 on the list of directions is, "Do not eat pizza without cooking."
Having said my piece, I am now going to enjoy my rising crust pizza (punctuation deficient as it may be).

This goes right along with the wonderful world of spelling:
Kwik
Sooper
Dunkin (which I suppose is technically correct but I'm sure the g has spent a bit of time in therapy wondering why people forget it)
EZ
Citi
And I could on but of course now I can't remember more of them.
At least they spelled "you're" correctly. I see so many people on line that confuse "your" and "you're". It drives me nuts!
