Blackpearl--- Thanks for sharing this depressing tidbit. Eventually, I
guess, we'll regress into communicating by grunts and gestures. By the way, the errors that I saw were "activites" and "grammer."

Azur--- I truly believe that we have an epidemic of apostrophe misuse for
plurals. I'm seeing it everywhere.

People see the same error so many times that they start to believe it is correct. I have observed here where people seem to have  started out knowing the correct plural and used to write say for example, customers but now having seen customer's so often they use if for both plural and possessive.

Apart from the obvious errors, it says that it includes a foreign language tutor. I wonder if they ship him or her out too?;-)

Jazwolf,

Look what I found at the walmart.com website, while I was browsing for a gift for my nephew.  I'm sure you can spot the two glaring errors, though someone with your trained eye will probably find more.  I'll bet someone gets paid big money to do this, and just look at the careless work they put out.  How disappointing is this?
