Regular contributor and twitter friend Aliya has got in touch to voice her discontent at being confronted with a grammatical error when attempting to sign up to Zlio, a web 2.0 shop thingy-ma-bob. Yes, that’s the technical description.
"Please confirm informations bellow."
I really like this. I can imagine people yelling their email addresses at the screen, eager to try this new-fangled, web-based, voice recognition technology. Also, the pluralisation of uncountable nouns such as ‘information’, ‘luck’ and ‘money’ always makes me smile, I don’t know why.
Perhaps our Aliya was having a bad day as she did not take this so lightly.
I was in the middle of signing up for Zlio’s online DIY shop service, when this unforgivable monstrosity presented itself. There’s just no excuse for this degree of error. In fact, Zlio should apologise for the level of offence, frustration, and downright despair that they have caused me.
That’s good ranting, lass. Keep ‘em coming.
