A Bit of Fun

Although we present these cartoons as a bit of light-hearted fun, they make a strong point: small mistakes can make a huge difference to the message being conveyed.

Oh, for a comma! A poster about workplace safety encouraged workers to notify their supervisor... "immediately before an accident happens".

Are we being pedantic? A computer company advertises that they are... "dedicated to providing a complete professional service to all our customers, regardless of their size".

Just a typo An advertisement about writing services offered assistance with... "speeches, press-releases and on-hold massages".

Freudian slip? A police Annual Report (around the time of the controversy about deaths in custody) included an organisational chart stating one area of responsibility as... "Execution Director (Corporate Services)".
