Not Washed or Cooked, # 59

From a letter issued by a university in the UK:


The extract supplies sufficient material for the potentially contentious split infinitive to be overlooked on this occasion. The failure to carry out spell-checking and proofreading is augmented by a failure to hyphenate, so that the final sentence gives the impression that it is the employee’s car, rather than the employee, that must be entered into the scheme.
