Also, did you spot what I did with the "there/their" thing too

It's hard innit. I had to stop myself putting an apostrophe before the 'n'. I've got to admit after spending too much time on internet forums and people texting I've started to slack on the there,their's - even committing the crime myself...

And we even have a spell-checker on-site.

+1 I've a team member who wrote a CV similar to this but in the literal sense, he wrote it as how he would actually say it.This was for a promotion.

My English grammer is bad, but I missed a lot of school after being run over by a bus & I never caught up. This guy says he has a English qualfication

Lord help us

I use this for bidding on auctions when I can't get on a computer, I'm away from home or it finishes late at night. Its great, completely automatic bidding.

There are others out there too

I give people the benefit of the doubt usually and put it down to laziness.

I saw an advert in the back of TopGear magazine recently though, for an insurance broker, some small business which "Specialises in High Performance Cars".

It gave the usual blurb, and then stated "ACCICENTS/CONVICTIONS NO PROBLEM".

There's just something too perfect about an insurance company which cannot spell Accident
Is it worse if they cannot spell it, or that they are so careless that they wouldn't check? Needless to say I purchased insurance from them right away.

Surely thats down to the typesetter at the printers, rather than the insurance company.

Well, could be, although I doubt a printer or type-setter types out every advert in the back of a magazine do they? Are they not just supplied with them by the companies placing the adverts these days?

I know what you mean about the work "brake." Because that was a double whammy on his behalf. I bought a "break plundger."

Answers on a postcard. Yes for the technically minided you may figure out what it is pretty quickly but if you are looking for one on ebay and type in the correctly spelled words you will never find it. I also bought a rear huger off him. Teehee.

Someone must at least proof read the magazine electronically before its printed, I'm sure that would include the adverts, otherwise it would be full of naughty words Like carp & feck

They'd get in trouble from the Advertising standards Authority if they allowed misleading adverts
