An English teacher of mine once got a solicitation from a car dealership, a solicitation full of bad writing, sentence fragments and too many exclamation points, and he corrected it and sent it back (as well as kept a copy to show in class). Ever been tempted to do that?
May have shared this with you before, but my version of that is, in the mid-90s I left under the doors of three student-run publications at my college copies of Pennye Harper's poem "Spellbound (http://www.technofileonline.com/texts/spelrite.htm)." (The poem goes "I have a spelling checker; it came with my PC. It plainly marks four my revue mistakes I cannot sea.") I actually got invited by one of the publications to be a proofreader because of that little stunt.
