Corporate Illiteracy
« on: November 09, 2012, 13:19:01 PM »
I may have mentioned in earlier posts that, before I retired, I worked in the Punctuation Police eventually being promoted to the elite, armed response, Apostrophe Squad. You can imagine my fury, after spending 30 minutes filling in my extensive and complex medical conditions, when I discovered that the last page was titled " Travellers Age's ".


My mood was not improved when this page then froze, not only preventing a quote being generated, but also leaving this offensive phrase dominating the screen until the whole damned site crashed.
