This is, verbatim, the poster put out by our Concert Office and displayed all over campus. All typos are theirs.

Tommy Peoples has long been recognizzed as one of ireland's premire traditioanl musicians. His influence has been felt far and wide in irish music via his ealry work with the Bothy Band,Last Night's fun and his solo recordings on Shanachie, Green Llinnet and other lables. He has worked withmatt Molloy and Sean Keane (of the Chieftains) as well as Paul Brady. Tommy will be accompanied by string department faculty.


The fact that they managed to spell Shanachie right: miracle, or example of the saying "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day"?

I LOVE Tommy Peoples!

I don't love grammar and spelling mistakes quite as much, though...

Oh, jeebus frelling criminey.

Mistakes on public signs are a pet peeve for me. Thanks for setting my teeth on edge.

If anyone bothered to proof-read that, s/he needs to be shot.

UMMM, I'm dyslexic, and I picked up on the poor grammar and such.
This was written by professional's, great.
Can I have their job?

Wow. It sounds like they have to cut down on the crack in the Concert office and stop handing the work to their visiting kids and saying "proofread this for Mommy/Daddy"

what proof reading? It went from draft to print...There was no editing about it.

They must be all proud of themselves for getting Shanachie and Tommy Peoples spelled corrently, that's probably all of what thier goal consisted of.
