“Professional” speakers are among the last people to recognize the importance of proper presentation, which, when you think about it, is hard to understand, and especially so when you get to the upper reaches of speakers—the people with serious speaking chops. It’s those people that the rest of us should be able to consider the industry’s leaders. But when you go on to a speaker’s website and see a boatload of misspelled words or you get an email from a “World Champion” and see glaring punctuation and grammar mistakes, what are you supposed to think? Using proper punctuation and grammar in internet content, books, and other promotional materials is just like wearing clean clothes, in my opinion; otherwise, you stink. I did stick a non-speaker sentence in here—a sentence I found online while researching a program I presented last week—but, really, these sentences are from people who you’d think would know better and care more.
