Care For Whom, Exactly, NeighborsGo?

Are those the hands of a prostitute? Photo: NeighborsGo Every Friday morning, I walk into the office, open the Dallas Morning News, and pull out the Park Cities/ North Dallas/ Oak Lawn/ Uptown/ maybe another neighborhood? version of NeighborsGo, and flip through to see what we missed. It’s usually a mix of sussed-up press releases, fun photos, and reporting. It does its job, and I like reading it.

Today, when I reached the back page, I saw the above advertisement, for C.C. Young Home Health and Hospice Services. Does no one copy edit these things? No one caught that “Care For Ho{me}” may be misread as “Care For Prostitute?”

Now, we’re not above grammatical errors, but this seems like an oversight on a few ends. Most of all: Those are not the hands of a h*. Not enough nail polish.

    The company meant to emphasize the “me”–the personal care and attention one would receive in a home-like environment. Bradford, you sound like a dirty-minded little seventh grader releasing supressed sexuality! Give it a break. Only someone looking for sex in every sentence would make a comment like that.
