GCU Forum - Change of wording on front of card.

Eve_138255 Ex Member	Change of wording on front of card. Feb 11^th, 2011, 1:15pm On the front of my card are the words ’ To dear Mom on Mother’s Day’. I cannot see anything wrong in this, but I have been asked to change it to read ‘ To a Dear Mom on Mother’s Day, or To My Dear Mom on Mother’s Day. Can someone please explain why I have to change my wording?

Reply #3 - Feb 11^th, 2011, 2:44pm Agree on this one makes a change for me lol But it sounds like something is missing. So .. To My Dear Mom on Mother's Day sounds nice But don't like A Dear Mom as that also says its a mom not specific to the card givers mom, well i think I'm not the best with wording.

Though technically, there isn't anything wrong with what you say, when you say it out load it seems somehow less than correct. They've done made this type of request to me before and I've just changed it. What difference does it make to change it?

The point is,
# 1 - I don't like the words the reviewer has asked me to write on my card.
# 2 - there are more than one Mother's Day card I've been asked to change.
# 3 I have a lot more like that, coming up for review.

To me, it's almost as bad as someone telling me they don't like the photo I've used.

Reply #8 - Feb 11^th, 2011, 7:31pm Eve- I think your wording is charming and had I a Mom to send a card to wouldn't hesitate using the expression. I'm sure there are folks out there that would find the wording sweet and appropriate as well. -ernestine
