I was subpoenaed once, yes. I fulfilled my duty in compliance with a legal order by a qualified officer of the Court in Los Angeles County. The legal order was in relation to one post by one user and did not cover other readers or commenters. I was ordered to by the Law. A standing policy of SCVTalk is to not reveal the identity of posters, visitors, commenters, or readers of this website. But I will not go to jail for any of you. So keep that in mind. :p ”

I for one take no comments as an attack, nor am I ever offended. I thin V town is right.

POV professionals hold advanced degrees in business (MBA), communications (MA) and linguistics (PhD). We are available to be that final set of eyes to review grammar, punctuation and spelling. No cost, no obligation. Just drop me a note at ttodd@pointofviewcommunications.com to discuss. Mistakes happen; we get that. Moving forward, we hope this helps and organizations take advantage of our resources.

This conversation reminds me of an article I read a while back about the "Grammar Vandal". http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/07/15/stop_sign_travesties/ Maybe this can be your next blog Jeff? ;) Well said Navigator.

I guess it comes down to who it really affects, right? perhaps Cash hit it on the head originally (minus the 'mexican' comment) that perhaps no one will ever really notice, eh? But if it's a persons name then it might mean more to the loved ones who may be personally involved. Thanks for your input and putting it into context. I say never mind;leave it the way it is!

It's not something that you can just slurry over and restripe. "But I’m thinking the some of you here would also complain about the City wasting money on grammar while in a recession." SCVFan, though I agree with your thought, was this made during the recession? Afterall it was just added to that area last month, right? If this error was made during the recession (not before), then heck who ever made it should fix it. During this time of watching the dollars (even the CITY), it should be a consideration, but the customer should still be satisfied and now that it's been brought up, well....
