Why Your Spelling Doesn't Matter

Do you find it strange that I'm a writer and yet occasionally, you'll find simple words in my daily e-mail messages, and the spelling of them is completely wrong? Know why this happens (besides the fact that I'm not a big "spelling" fan? The answer is simple: First, sometimes misspelling a word every now-and-again makes you look more "human", and anything you can do to make yourself more human, also lets your prospects relate better to you. Second, it's actually an involvement devise for many of the people on my list. (Oops, I meant "device" -- got 'cha.) And as you know, if you want to sell something, getting people involved with you -- on any level -- is always good, right? I mean, you'd be astounded at how many people send us in e-mails pointing out all my spelling errors -- and look, it's not like I make hundreds of them or anything like that! People actually seem to feel good they found spelling mistakes made by a copywriter. The irony of it is just too great for them to ignore. So bluntly, having some spelling errors in my sales copy, is... for some people on my list, a great way to get them involved with me. And lastly, the truth is, sometimes I just mess up! I've got my hands in more pies than you'd ever imagine. Between client work and my own projects, I'm involved in no less than 10 things at any one given time. And that doesn't even begin to include my consulting clients and sales copy reviews. So don't be surprised if you see a spelling error every now-and-again in my daily e-mails -- given the volume of work I have on my plate, it's just bound to happen. Plus, remember -- I'm the King Of Copy, not the Sultan Of Spelling, right? And like Clint Eastwood said in Dirty Harry, "A man's got to know his limitations."
