A great read, and something that gets the neurones firing.

I heard on 3AW a few days ago, an ad for Hardly Normal selling HP computer stuff. Or as the girl reading the ad said more than once, Haitch P. Grrr

I recently had a maybe 50-year old ask me if i used "an Apple or a HP". I had to do one of those julia-roberts-equation-meme calculations to figure out what she was saying.

“After the crash, the trapped victim crawled over to his car’s passenger door and “tumbled out onto the side of the road”. He lied on the ground as he struggled to stand”.

This follows the same publication last week, when trying to comment on the lack of recruitment into an organisation said that there was not enough “onboarding”.

I am beginning to think that understanding grammar is a curse.

From a news report about the stabbing at the NSW church.

Police went into the church to arrest the teen, who was being pinned down by parishioners, but as the fury outside the church grew the crowd began pelting officers who had arrived at the scene with items, including bricks, concrete and palings.

I wonder why police took such an odd collection of items to the crime scene?

I work for a large telecommunications that has had a problem with the word premises ever since nbn became a thing. I lost count of the number of times I had to correct documents and communications that had Fibre to the Premise. It still happens.

Qantas is at it now. It now seems that the new lounge in Hobart is just a larger idea...
