In response to this ad, I wrote:

Hi,

I will not be applying for this position, because it's too far away, but I thought you might want to know that you misspelled both "proofreader" and "copywriter".

I'm going to ignore the conflation of "verbal" with "oral" because all the cool kids are doing it these days.

Mmm, verbal sex.

Well, this is Serene's journal, so it's only natural. :)

The only real mistake they made was to spell proofreader two ways (proof-reader and proof reader).

Saw an ad in the Pennysaver once for a "proffreader." I didn't have the heart to apply. It would have driven me batshit.

I thought they did that on purpose for proof-reader and copy-editor positions?

Hey, they aint kidding. They really need one!

If you have a perfectly written want ad for a proofreader, said proofreader might think, "They don't really need me, do they?".

In response to which, they appear to have fixed it.

Maybe whomever they hire will get to proofread the next ad they post.
