This Funky Friday offering is for those who, like me,
value the comma of direct address and other niceties of language that have
disappeared from even Fortune 50 communications:
What’s so impressive to me is not just that Mali has
captured scads of errors that are so common these days, and which the dreaded autocorrect promulgates; but that his delivery
is so smooth.
Crank up the volume and enjoy.
As one who works in a Public Affairs department, I verify and swear on a stack of Bibles that every time we get a Word version upgrade, one of first things we do is apply a macro to everyone's custom dictionary to never, never, ever allow the word Public without an "l". Especially when you're quoting in a national news release your Vice President of Public Affairs. You can see where that one went. Luckily it wasn't my release!
