Proving that one person *can* make a difference
Check out what I found in my inbox last night:
Dear Aaryn-
I read your blog post today. You are absolutely right in pointing out our grammatical mistake with the English language, it was not intentional. That was an error on our part and we have changed the text to read “coach.com anyway.”
We strive to give our base a good experience when exploring our site and discovering new styles.Please feel free to call me at [redacted] or at jennifer@polyvore.com.
Did I actually call Polyvore a bimbo??? I take it back. Polyvore is no bimbo. Polyvore writes in cursive, sends thank you notes, and knows her dessert fork from her salad fork.
See my latest CityBeat column (also below this post) for context. It wasn’t up for 12-hours before the Polyvorites were all over it. And might I just say, kudos to Jennifer and Polyvore for that. Gigantic, enormous, bigger-than-the-Oxford-English-Dictionary kudos to them. Of course, I’d be even happier about the correction had she included a pair of shoes as a gesture of apology. Wouldn’t that really have been the right thing to do? Then I’d be calling her a mensch in addition to sending big wet cyber-kisses.
Although, it might be better if she had used a semicolon instead of a comma in the second sentence.
Damn, we’re a harsh crowd.
“Oh, snap!” to Leslie!
After Leslie, I got nuthin’. [Drooling over those shoes!]
