Re: Friday, art, spellcheck, and bad business

You have a point. The client found the work a failure. They shouldn't
have to pay for corrections.

Especially not a library looking for grammar corrections to a
semi-permanent piece.

I got a chuckle at reading this:

"The misspelled mosaic has pitted art advocates against language
purists. Some argue that artistic expression allows the artist to
spell "Gaugan" (the painter known to those who can spell as Gauguin)
however she likes, and others say such mistakes do not belong anywhere
near the city's home of knowledge and literacy."

I mean, this has irony written all over it, literally!

But yeah, I agree that the "contractor" should not be paid by the
"client" to fix errors introduced in the "deliverable" by the
"contractor".
