The third and final day of mangles spotted by Vice-Commodore Pugwash at the National Defence Academy, Shrivenham. At least the relentless capitalization has been dropped, presumably because this is information rather than instruction:
Monday’s for Mondays; Friday’s for Fridays
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).
