I have wondered about this for some time. While browsing layouts on another board, I came across one with a very obvious typo in it. What would you do in this situation, mention it to the person or not say anything? How about if you see a layout in person? I think that I would want someone to point out a typo to me so that I could correct it. Any thoughts? By the way, I didn't say anything to the person about it.

My opinion... good friend mention it. Someone you don't know ... don't. Unless they are asking for suggestions then I might gingerly test the waters .... "would you want to know if there was what I think is a typo?" I find typos in my things sometimes years later. Make me so mad, because I think I'm so careful. I think being very close it a project may hide them from you.
Anyone in this group.... yes please tell me if I've mispelled something or my grammer is incorrect on a layout or card.

I'm with Lynne and you on this one. If it someone I know well I'll tell them if I notice. If it's someone I don't know, I won;t say anything.

I agree...if it was someone I knew really well, I'd tell them. If not, I'd just keep it to myself. I was looking at a friend's baby album, and the title of one page was "Another Picture", but she left out the "h" in another. She had run out of that particular letter style, so she had to get more. When she got them, she forgot to put the letter in there. I just looked at her and laughed...she said I was the first one to say anything about it...lol!

Thanks for your opinions. I agree with you all. I guess it's the secretary in me that wants everything perfect! So if you see an error in my layouts, please let me know.
Good question!! But I have inserted foot and spat out to someone I did not know, someone in here about what I thought was a mistake and choice of colors, design etc.
Yes I did feel bad afterward and tried to back peddle, but being a man, what can I say?! LOL!!!
I hate that I TRY to be a pefectionist and my thoughts, OK words just flow. after all, I live under the ole thought, if you do not ant the truth or MY opinion, DON'T ASK!!!
(going to cower as don't know who I may have corrupted!)
