This mathematical mangle in the order form insert of December’s Simply Entertainment catalogue was spotted by the eagle-eyed Des Pond of Slough:
125th anniversary of Noel Coward’s birth (on 16 December 1899)
Businesses that don't bother checking their websites, journalists who write gibberish and balderdash, professionals who can't take the extra time and effort to spell-check and proofread, newspapers that turn tragedy into farce through solecisms, plus the odd guide to solving common grammatical difficulties… Contributions and suggestions welcome. (… Also corrections if required, obviously!) Send to: manglingenglishATgmxDOTcom, stating your nom de mangle (if desired).
