A complaint sent off to Moon Club of Dlouhá 709/26 – poor English – a disgrace

[Sent]

Dear Moon Club at Dlouhá 709/26,

I am an educated British woman who originated from Southern England and I must tell you that, on your Facebook advertisement about the Latino Night event every Thursday in Prague, you used wrong English punctuation. You should have written and published “THURSDAYS” without any apostrophe, but you made such a mistake of writing “THURSDAY’S”, a mistake that even a child of 7-8 years old knows how to avoid as even a child can write things like “You can go to Moon Club on Thursdays, if you like” and “I have tennis lessons on Fridays”. It is also fine to write “Tuesdays are bad days for me, for some reasons.” There is no apostrophe, unless you want to say something like “Thursday’s highlight is a drink called Havana Martini.” It is basic English. You did not even sort out your basic English? This is disappointing, Moon Club Dlouhá 709/26. This is gravely disappointing, I am afraid, I regret to say to you.

How do you do your business? Can you go do some work, please? Advertisements written in wrong English (spelling/ punctuation) make me feel silly, I feel like an idiot, so I do not want to sign up to a dancing session at your Moon Club, as that would make me feel like an idiot, and, I don’t want to be an idiot. I am a woman of civilization, the nobility of humankind, I am not a woman of trashy nonsense. At least, I do not get basic English punctuation wrong. It’s a pity, I like your Moon Club business logo, and your website seems to have beautiful photographs on it. Can you please go and fix your broken English as soon as possible?

How much money did you pay Facebook to advertise the dancing? What is the point in your business paying Facebook X amount of money to advertise the dancing, only to lose more than half of the money as potential customers-dancers don’t want to come, they would rather go elsewhere and be subjected to normal English? My friends in Prague have spending power, just like me, and, they also will not tolerate wrong English punctuation. It is never acceptable at work, and, they don’t like it either in their leisure time. That’s a disgrace, they say no to it. Are you fond of wasting money then? Is it your company policy to waste money? Is it your corporate policy to waste your own advertising time, to kill your own efficiency?

Please sort yourself out. Please respect literacy, education, and the English language.

You can, of course, pay me or pay someone like me, to do all the proofreading work for you in English- fees are cheap, we make your English 100% accurate. So, it’s good for grabbing more customers, if that is what you want.

From me

Prague’s public transport: the underground

It has been said that:

What about that time, over x.y.z months ago? When my eyes saw something that worried me and alarmed me a great deal. To a man’s face, I absolutely screamed at him, between Křižíkova and Florenc, “Don’t touch her ! ! !! !! Don’t touch her! Don’t touch her! Don’t touch her!! !” By that point, I was pretty hysterical. That man was actually holding his baby, he was with a young child, and even a woman who was presumably his wife. Despite all this, he dangerously pushed a Czech woman, trying to attack her, hence I screamed. By the time I exited at Florenc station, everybody could hear me screaming “Don’t touch her!”
