I used to work with the public health department. Typos were always an issue.

Can’t work out if your second sentence was intentionally written like that…

@Rob For completeness, all numbers should be written in full at the beginning of a sentence.

Regarding grammar in general, I was brung up on a council estate and barely scraped through GCSE English. The RAF managed to round off the rough edges such that these days the multiple errors I now make are simply referred to as Strickerisms.

Keep up the good work, if the spelling and grammar were perfect then we’d assume you weren’t human.

“Brung”?

Philistine. Where’s my pitchfork.

@PCZ. It’s certainly in the Weegie Dictionary, with particular use in Strickers’s context.
