			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in November, I wrote a post about the <a href="http://wordconstructions.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/copyright-or-copywrite/" target="_blank">difference between copyright and copywrite</a>. If you think about the actual words, it isn&#8217;t hard to tell them apart either (copy<strong>right</strong> is about <strong>rights</strong> for instance.)</p>
<p>Yet I have just come across a website with the following sentence:</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">we have combined many years of copyrighting skills to create magical letters for every occasion.</span></p>
<p>As much as the misuse of copyrighting annoys me, it being misused in a sentence where the writer claims to be an expert writer  is shocking. Of course, I am also curious as how to someone combines years to create anything.</p>
<p>Before I get on my soap box about people posing as experts and (in my opinion) trying to fool people*, let me give you a much better version of the above sentence:</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Together, we have many years of copywriting experience which we use to create magical letters for every occasion.</span></p>
<p>* I don&#8217;t know anything else about the writing skills of the site using the above sentence so I am not commenting on their level of expertise or claiming they are unethical. It is just a general comment that I hate people presenting themselves as more than they are and errors such as this are sometimes an indicator of such behaviour.</p>
