Spelling Mistakes On Here

[TWR]

have you replied on any post on here with a spelling mistake, know you've made a mistake but can not see it? ( Without the aid of spell checker)

typo- a redundant hyphen and in such a document!

How about this one in Truro, jo? It made Have I Got More News For You and the likes of the Daily Wail..... http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/04/10/article-2601433-1CFDED4A00000578-863_1024x615_large.jpg

I thought the hyphen was there to go with "free", even though there are a couple of words in between. If they'd said 'typo-free' without mentioning 'error-free' it would have been ok, wouldn't it?

[Cloverjo]

I like that one, DTC. Surely someone in the sign company would have seen that? ))

[DTCwordfan]

They claim that it was a genuine mistake, many don't think so. The Wig and Pen (near the Crown Court) bought the sign off the company that was putting in new sewers and water supply lines.

I remember a few years back a company called Pen Island, dealing with fancy pens. Because of the way email does not allow spaces their address was www.penisland &c

Both hyphens are redundant because the compound adjectives come after the noun.

So it should have been either

typo-free and error-free writing and content,

Or

Your writing and content is typo and error free.

Sorry phone just woke me up, I think I am right, I have passed 3 exams in English.
