Blogging spoils your spelling, doesn’t it?
Last week I found a green little book in my mailbox. It was a school book with my name on it. It countained a printed version of one of our articles with spelling and grammar remarks and a personal letter to me from a PR lady from PONS who just released their brand new online spelling service. Usually press mailings are not that creative, but this one was really cute. Well done!
Back at school I was totally anal about spelling and grammar. Usually I made no mistakes no matter how long the texts. But then came along the spelling reformation and that totally messed me up. The fact that most of the articles in this blog are pretty much written on the fly doesn’t help either. So the spelling service might actually be a good thing to keep this site clean. If you want to know what grade I got from PONS for my article check after the jump.

Well done, Pons. Relevant, targeted, personal, cute.
Heres more about agency and online follow-up.

I was just wondering - I heart Berlin is in English. The service and the spelling reform are German, though. Explanation anyone? Or did I miss something here?

Normalerweise bin ich ja kein großer Freund von Rechtschreib- und Grammatikklugscheißern, aber PONS dürfen das wohl
Und so nett verpackt ist doch schon wieder sympathisch.
