Some job descriptions should be referred to the campaign for
better English, or even given the once-over by other staff

I was helping a friend out a few weeks ago at her laminating/
framing/mounting business. There were piles of real estate
posters to be done - a not-inexpensive exercise for the agents
involved. Not one of them had plurals or apostrophes right.
The usual "its" confusion, " vendor's ", even " balconie's " for
goodness sake. Obviously no proof-reading done or the
proof-reader was as illiterate as the composer
