Building Maintenance

[Dr Lobster*]

Just got this through my door (I've reproduced it the best the forum will allow - I can't scan it in) but it gave me a giggle, so I thought I’d share it with you.

I’m tempted to ring that number and suggest Mr Miller attend some Grammar Lesson’s.

Tsk, he forgot the apostrophe in Base's

[Gavin Scott]

I do love to goad people born with apostrophes in the wrong place.

I'm terribly sorry however that I have to remove part of the telephone number in your post, as I wouldn't like to think he was bombarded by calls.

Don't let that stop you phoning to offer him an education though.

[Nick Harvey]

Well, it IS just after Easter.

He was probably thinking of Jesus''''''''''''

Ross Revenge,s attempt at an apostrophe on here recently was amusing. I,ve recreated it to the best of my ability on here.

I don't understand how one can make that mistake though, the only one I can understand making is this one "it;s" as the keys are adjacent to one another on the keyboard. It's a mistake I oft make on MSN myself I have to admit.

An article in one of our local free newspapers last week ran the headline "Where the Party's Stand" over a story about local prospective parliamentary candidates. Not only does the paper struggle with the apostrophe but plurals seem to present just as big a challenge.

I received an email from one of our local councillors recently.

It was a three paragraph email which contained almost forty spelling and grammar mistakes.

[Orry Verducci]

You would think these people know better :roll: Idiots!

That's what happens when you let Word do your spelling and grammar checks.

These sorts of topics make me paranoid about my post, i end up reading to make sure i havnt left myself open for corrections... eek...

[marksi]

There isn't a spelling checker in the world that would let "assossiation" through.

I got a very well written letter from my lib dem candiate offering me a lift to the polling station. Being too lazt to walk over the road I think I might take him up on the offer.
