It amused me because someone has asked the designer to add extra information\u00a0– and the designer\u00a0has added ‘please add’ as well as the required information. And no one noticed it to have it removed before publishing the banner.<\/p>\n
At least it was a polite request that was overlooked!<\/p>\n
Being a polite request, this has amused me and in no\u00a0way detracts from me being a Cadbury customer (given I love their chocolate it would take a lot!) But it does have the potential to damage a reputation.<\/p>\n
How do you feel about Cadbury making such an error?<\/p>\n
I remember a similar experience in a training manual I once read. In amongst general text was a paragraph to the effect of “Chrissie the following graphic needs to add a break between a and b plus include x, use lower case letters and correct the categories”.<\/p>\n
It is funny to tell but it isn’t a professional look for the training organisation!<\/p>\n
Testing the reading<\/h2>\n
Some years ago, I worked in an engineering company and wrote many Expressions of Interest (EoI). I generally took an old EoI and hand edited it, adding and subtracting text as well as moving things around.<\/p>\n
The department secretary took my rough notes (and they were rough at times!) and typed up beautiful documents.<\/p>\n
Just for fun, I would occasionally test her and write something like “The company has three experienced engineers and the cow jumped over the moon, The little dog laughed to understand this project’s timing.”<\/p>\n
