I received an email from FairFX today telling me about their refer-a-friend offer they have on right now. I was almost at the end of the email before I spotted the error:
Just to remember to explain to the people that your share your voucher code or link with that we’ll waive the normal new card order fee of £9.95* PLUS give them an extra £2.50** if they load more than £250 in their first transaction.
The first highlighted word above shouldn't be there, an accidental addition to the sentence.
The second highlighted word should read 'you' rather than 'your'. Another simple mistake.
Come on people, where are your checkers?
Welcome to my blog, focusing on the mistakes and downright bad English that can be found in various outlets for the written word. I have decided to record on this blog any errors I come across; whether it be emails, restaurant menus, online articles or in the printed press. I would like to stress now that my English isn't perfect and I don't know all the rules and my intention is not to berate or preach, just to inform. I will also inevitably make spelling errors and typos myself!
