Not Washed or Cooked, # 74

Offering a pleasing segue from yesterday’s focal word, this page spells accommodation correctly (in the main text, if not, in fact, in its URL), but displays problems elsewhere, such as the penultimate sentence here:

Link: Abant İzzet Baysal Üniversitesi, Campus Accommodation

The page’s closing sentence needed spell-checking too:


I shan’t engage with the various grammatical issues, because they aren’t mangles in the same sense as they would be for a writer whose first language was English. However, this is not to say that it’s acceptable for a professional website to contain errors, and not using a spell-checker is inexcusable.
