Commagate: One misplaced comma = $2mil+
The editor in me finds this hilarious:
TORONTO—It could be the most costly piece of punctuation in Canada.
A grammatical blunder may force Rogers Communications Inc. to pay an extra $2.13 million to use utility poles in the Maritimes after the placement of a comma in a contract permitted the deal’s cancellation.
The full scoop, including the passage of text with the extra comma, is available at the Fort Frances Times Online.
so what you are trying to say is grammar and punctuation are important who knew it always seemed like silly things to learn i think i mostly slept through those classes
