'Negotiations are expected to continue to the bert last minute.'

Another touch typist in a hurry who clearly can't proofread. This one from RNZ.

When you create a review for a new smartphone using one laptop and email to yourself using Office 365 online then delete the original document... The email is not sent, the document is gone.

When I have to go into a store to buy Taylor Swift's new album on CD because it isn't online anywhere.

It seems that it'll be on iTunes on Sunday (with four songs available now).

Meanwhile, this "Milky Top" chocolate has the milk chocolate on the *bottom*.

When you receive an email notification from your credit rating service to find out a drop in your rating because Genesis Energy reported you in default by 29 days or more.

I've paid my Genesis Energy bill online, via credit card, the moment I received the bill - a couple of weeks ahead of the due date.

Then the credit rating agency says it will take 30 days or more to "investigate".

The last form I filled in online that asked me for a mobile number, I simply put in 027 000 0000. It accepted that.

When the Taylor Swift album you bought legally is totally corrupted on the last 4 tracks forcing you to pirate it anyway in FLAC.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one this kind of thing happens to.
