Articles by Gill Taylor
Most of the work I do is based on a specific brief from a client, but every now and again I get the urge to write about something that strikes a chord with me. Some of these articles fall into that category, and have been published on various websites and in one or two magazines, whilst others have been specifically requested by a client or a publication.
If you need to write an article and don’t know where to begin, contact me to discuss my ghost writing services.
THE CM SOAPBOX
Here are a few gems from my extensive file of classic mistranslations and other strangulations of the English language!
I'm in the process of buying a new car and so I had a look at some review sites on the net. This classic line from a gentleman whose first language quite obviously wasn't English really made me laugh . . .
"I recomend this car especialy to young boys who loves fast riding for equal price."
Found this on one of those 'high speed property sale' websites that are springing up all over the place:
"If necessary we can complete on the purchase of your property within 28 days, although under normal circumstances purchases are completed within four weeks."
Tough decision, now which should I aim for??
I’m setting up a whole section for these. Please email me with any you find and I’ll add the best ones to the site.
