Typos that say something entirely different!


Recommended Posts

Mentioning no specific posts or names...

 

Someone posted somewhere on Shetland "please bare with us"

 

Now, I'm sure for some people that would tempt them into buying the car, but it's probably a bit off-putting for most....

 

We also received a communication at work from someone that allegedly wasn't displeased with how his case was going - but it read " I'm not unhappy with current proceedings".

 

Thats alright then!

Sorry Shetland News; it hasn't been your best week.

 

Power problems close school

 

HAPPYHANSEL primary school in Walls closed its doors on Wednesday after electrical problems surfaced the day before.

 

Staff called out Hydro engineers on Tuesday to investigate the fault and kept the children at home as a safety precaution until yesterday (Thursday).

 

Yesterday principal teacher Eleanor Walterson the school and its electrics were back to normal.

 

Glad to hear the principal teacher is back to normal. :)

I think that her choice of thread indicates she doesn't think it is anything other than an example of an illiterate lawyer trying to spell abandonment.

 

Yeah, we were going for "abandonment" and will deal with it appropriately - filed carefully in the bin.

 

Having been a legal secretary for many years a) you end up typing what you think your boss is trying to say and B) he doesn't sign anything he hasn't agreed you typed!

 

Illiterate secretary or lawyer - could be both. How sad.

I Googled abondment and came up with this

http://www.laborlawtalk.com/showthread.php?t=115443

 

From about halfway down the page

 

There is a thing in Texas about land abondment. I beleive if a person moves on the property without permission and the owner never contests it then the person who moved on it after a certain time can claim it is abadoned and take ownership. I only know about this after reading about it in a local newspaper when some migrants started setting up home on a plot of private land.

 

Sounds like they became owners not because the owner abandoned the land but because the occupiers satisfied the adverse possession statute. Google something like "adverse possession elements" and you'll probably get a good understanding of what it is.
