Harmonising there and their
4:37pm Wednesday 21st October 2009 in Jo Wadsworth
If you're pernickety about language, spare a moment to read this hilarious account of a clash between a client and a copywriter on Kay Sexton's Writing Neuroses blog.
Kay describes the wrangles she had with a client over the copy she had been asked to provide on his website.
The client, who describes himself as a "visual person" at one point asks her if she can "harmonise" the spelling of there and their - because it looks nicer.
When she politely tells him this wouldn't be a good idea, his texted response is just beautiful.
