The prospect of free pudding tempted me into completing a feedback form. Sadly, the voucher had too short a use-by date and was not transferable, but I was rewarded with a mangle:
would you choose to dine at if not at [BRAND]?
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).
