Wandering around the underwear section last week I spotted a sign (in store signage) for....

"Post Surgeory" bras Shock

Sent them an email and got a less than satisfactory/bog standard reply.

It should say 'Post Surgery', not Surgeory.

iamme43 · 12/05/2012 18:18

I have never come across this section before and the spelling etc is so bad everywhere else I just didn't get it.....lol

This is where we come to rant so as not to upset other posters. On the only occasion on which I commented on anybody else's use of language on another board I wished I hadn't done so I know what Iamme43 and Threadwatcher mean about not seeing things immediately here because of what is written elsewhere. I suspect that is how a lot of the mistakes we see - and probably make - come about.

Or could be Post-surgery Smile if we wanted to be really PITA pedantic.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 19/05/2012 15:48

Exactly what I was thinking.
