That "professional" thesis editor banner which pops up at the top of the website now and again has lots of grammatical errors. I would think twice before using that service.

You would think that if they were offering a service of this sort they would have made sure that the text used on their banner was more eloquent.

I saw that it said 'get it write' - but wasn't sure if that was supposed to be there??? as a joke?

confused.

I think that it could be a ;-) (deliberate mistake)

yep, I think you're write ;-) bennyhill.

would any of you use the service? or steer clear because of the errors??

There is no way I would use that 'service'!

I'd rather my mum went through it and phoned me up every 2 mins with "what's a variable?" and "why do you call them participants, why not call them people" type questions.

haha, if we are going to be picky, four dots (....) means nothing at all. An ellipsis must be three dots :p

Its weird isn't it... I'm really not sure, but maybe the click hear, that turns into click here is suggesting that they are errors a student might make - I don't know! The trouble is its soooo bad that it makes you wonder - heck, I'm confused now!

I have a great advert shield and never ever even notice them until someone mentions it. Had to search the screen to see what this is about.

Think the errors are meant to be there, as in errors you might make in the thesis or something. I guess it's kinda of worked as it's made people notice the ad when if it was all correct no one would be posting about it!

I think the point is that there are errors that might slip through proof reading (I cringe when I look at my BA, MA and MSc dissertations and spot the typos) and on that note here is a poem:

I have a spell chequer it came with my pea see
It plainly marks four my revue miss steaks eye cannot sea.
Each thyme when eye have struck the quays I weight four it to say
If watt I rote is wrong or rite it shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid it nose bee fore two late
And eye can put the error write yes, I shall find it grate.
I’ve run this poem threw it I’m sure yore pleased to no.
Its letter perfect in its weigh my chequer tolled me sew.
