How did this get passed?

It's 'past'.

scaryclown · 14/06/2017 19:48

How did these get past (quality control).

That is what I was going to say scary. Touché!

No it is passed! As in "how was this passed by who ever does their proofreading."

"How did these get passed (by quality control)?" is fine.

It could be passed in the sense of a document being passed for approval?

Posting in pedants' corner seems to be permanently jinxed!

Visually impaired, what does it read?

Sentence in the OP is incomplete so could be either "passed" or "past" (though I would assume "past" to be correct and have to think about what "passed" should be)

Presumably the drawers are made in China or similar, so the translation on the packaging is just a bit wonky

hellokittymania · 14/06/2017 20:05

OK, thank you.

Is it just me who hates the '3' too? I've probably been marking too many essays, but I would prefer 'Three drawer storage'. Have to visit Poundland tomorrow for Father's Day reasons. I know I won't relax knowing they are there now .
