Typo

Who else can find the typographical error in the otherwise perfectly-written welcome script on the FlyerTalk home page?

Let's cut some slack: if the Language Police were to raise a fuss each time a Web page author improperly inserted an apostrophe while changing a noun from singular to plural, we wouldn't have time to carry on all of our other equally silly fooferaws.

OTOH, I'm not sure that I'd agree completely with your "perfectly-written" analysis: far too much passive voice.

[Oh, and by the way, would you mind next time using written perfectly instead of perfectly-written?]

Which is grammar, not a "typo" in the strict sense, surely? (And whilst on grammar, perfectly written NEVER needs a hyphen if we are being picky!) A very interesting page - had not seen it before. Thanks for mentioning it here. Randy has a staff of 30 something people doing this stuff. Great niche business, and a very nice guy as well.

(And I can vouch has been very busy in the last couple days on FT related matters.)

I really like the word, fooferaws. I'll try to use it at tonight's Christmas party.
