Firearms are chaired.*

[bending_sickle]

So I was trudging through a 200 page report (of which half is Appendices, but still, that's a whooping load of text). Now, these things are written by highly educated folk, people who write and rewrite the thing for months on end. This particular report was presented to the WWF.

So you'd expect quality, right?

You wouldn't expect typos springing up like hares on a spring day, nor would you expect utterly eyeball-'sploding mistakes.

Ha! Read and weep:

1) also feeded by regurgitation
2) decide weather or not to
3) have newer been reported

I don't care if English isn't the man's first language. This is a scientific report - not an article, but a full-blown, bigg-ass report. For the WWF. You'd think they'd check for glarringly-obvious typos and mistakes.

*sigh* And I'm supposed to look up to these people, professionally-speaking.

And now, a well-deserved rest, including a meal and a home-viewing of Run, Fatboy, Run. The squee, can you hear it? :)
