"Dear So & So" by Beth Marzoni -- Verse Daily, 4/9/2013

verse daily sloppiness

Note after the fact: I see today (4/10) the error was fixed.

This is really for the Verse Daily people:

In case nobody else has yet told you, it is embarrassing how many typos turn up on your pages.

No, it's not exactly like you are replete with them. But you are making one page a day. You can't bother enough to get one page a day -- one poem a day -- correct?

Not only embarrassing, insulting to the authors. Pay attention, already. You're a sponsored site. You should be getting it right.
