Not an Apostrophe

Post by XFool »

...but my 'favourite' bugbear:

"Some of our services are currently unavailable" - Thinks: "Like using correct English?"

"We’re sorry for any problems this may cause you; we're working to return things back to normal as quickly as we can. Thank you for your patience." [My emphasis]

Don't thank me! :roll:

"Walk such as an Angel walks"? - Doesn't sound like Elvis to me. (Such as Elvis would have sounded...)
