    I just found this on the back of our nut cutlets and was so infuriated I had to take a photo. Yes, I am that sad, and that annoyed!:toetap05:

    Hello,

    We have both always enjoyed your products, especially your nut cutlets, but wish to inform you about a rather elementary grammar error on the back of your latest nut cutlet packages. In your "great nut debate" box, you have used the incorrect "their", and you also have some questionable use of commas. I hope this is of help to you, as Im sure you dont want such a needless and irritating mistake on your packets in future. Incidently we like the chunky nuts, and were pleased when they appeared in the product

    Thank you for your time

    I admire when people speak well; but as mistakes such as the use of 'your' for 'you're' are rampant, I almost consider it acceptable because English has so many illogical exceptions, after all. I always know what it means so it's not really a problem for me, though I take pride in trying to be correct.

    I get very peeved at poor spelling and grammar. Especially if it is a public notice, they must have someone who can proof read these things?

    I think you'll find it was a 'grammatical error' rather than a 'grammar error' :D
