Top of the list of pitches I won’t read
Of all the bad, lame pitches I won’t bother reading, the top of the list must be occupied by the mass-distributed, unrequested press release in which “press release” is misspelled. Good freakin’ grief.

Something like this happens once in a while, especially in published materials. I remember reading a magazine that looked like the articles were not proofread because every page there were misspelled words, grammatically wrong sentences, badly constructed statements. And to think that it was a glossy mag from a known publication.
