Recently, I received the following promotional leaflet or flyer from KFC in our letterbox. At first glance, I noticed the glaring typo error on their flyer. It read 'DEAR VALUE CUSTOMER'.
To the uninformed person, it would have escaped their attention but not to me. I grimaced upon reading the sentence. 'DEAR VALUE CUSTOMER'.
Hello KFC MALAYSIA! Why did your Advertising & Marketing staff NOT CHECK the advertising draft copy first for any spelling errors before sending it to the publishers or printing company?
I mean, hello.. you are representing a world famous American fast-food giant of a company! KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN USA!
Don't tell us that you can't afford to engage the services of an Editor or a Proofreader such as me! :D
Just add a 'D' to the word VALUE to add sense to your sentence. It should read 'DEAR VALUED CUSTOMER' for God's sake!
What 'VALUE' are you referring to here in your flyer?
