As you know, Bev has a bee in her bonnet about sloppy writing and poor grammar, and while she's the first to admit that she isn't perfect she does try her best.
She's come across two examples this week - one at work and the other from a company (both of whom should know better):
- the use of "aroused' instead of arisen (from a work colleague) - "this situation has aroused from problems with third-party suppliers"
- a company apologizing for "any incontinence caused by the delay of their product."
They were the worst of a bad bunch of incorrect spellings, use of text speak in a business environment (that really winds Bev up) and incomprehensible comments left as project updates!
Ok, we bears are off to brush up on our English and our grammar - Bev in a grumpy mood is a scary sight!
