Originally posted by deadwolfbones In the case of the Romney iPhone app/website typos, I don't think anyone is trying to imply that they mean that Romney himself is an idiot. Clearly Romney doesn't program his own apps or lay out his own website. However, it could be construed as symptomatic of something deeper in his campaign--a lack of attention to detail, and perhaps a lack of regard for education or eloquence. Speaking as someone who makes his living in the editorial/copy business, when there's a grand total of three words on a page, you'd better be sure none of them is misspelled.
Good point. There is a big difference here between misspeaking and creating multiple written ads or apps with problems. My wife makes here living in a similar way to you, and I know that all you have to do is hire someone good. Unfortunately, it is not even as expensive as it should be.
I was not inclined to give this typo much attention, but one does wonder about the care which well-funded people in charge have given to what is presented.
