I have just been looking through the current edition of the "Sites Directory and handbook" and noticed on page 3 under the Technical Information listing the following heading

"Powering your wutfit" which beggars me to ask, what is a wutfit?

Oh tut-tut, proof reading is essential when producing publications!

In my past (professional) life I had a theory that organisations which produced poor and unprofessional documentation often didn't apply good standards of care or ethics to to other aspects of their work or service delivery.

Although I am absolutely not suggesting that my above comment applies to the CAMC (and I usually manage at least one typo when posting here so I can hardly criticise an isolated lapse) it is a useful principal to think about. 

I have put one in here just to check if you are paying attention at the back !!laughing

Two actually which just proves my point !

I can see both of them. 😊

One of the worst places I see mistakes, in both spelling and grammar, is in our local newspaper (and in their posts on Facebook).  Dreadful for an entity that’s based on the written word.

I agree with you InaD. It's nice when one see the language used correctly. I think that predictive text has a lot to answer for when mis-spelt words appear.

You're right, predictive text sometimes makes for quite hard reading.  I don't like using it myself, so have turned that off.

You mean you can't spell aluminum?

Sorry about the delay in responding CY, but my electronic thingummy kept on correcting you to Aluminium, so It took me a while to work out what you meant.  Now I understand a little better, even if I'm none the wiser.

Incidentally this searching has shewn me why a couple of popular quiz programmes on television  now insist on using SULFUR where  Old World  folks use, mainly, SULPHUR -- they do it to help sales of the programmes in the U.S.A. apparently frown

After working for several months in the USA it was suggested that I had gotten acclimated. I think that it was on a hump day.

Hump day in case you are wondering is, of course, Wednesday as it is the middle of the week.
