        Maybe it's a marketing trick. I mean, you're sharing it, we're talking about it. Probably got a lot more interest than the real thing would have done.

                  They have a habit of passing the buck those print companies - usually in the small print it will say it's the customers responsibility to check the proof for mistakes pre-print. Seems they didn't have a veg grower or eater approve it lol.

                    A lot of print companies don't seem to proof read any more. I've noticed that in the books I read - fiction and factual - more and more blatant mistakes are creeping in.

                    Endless wonder.

                        My local rag the Ipswich Star is riddled with such things. I've even offered my services as a sub-editor for nothing!

                        (Note: I did not say "for free" as this is grammatically incorrect as "free" is an adjective, thus cannot be preceded by a preposition like "for")

                          Delete grammar and insert grammatical.
