Are MNHQ mounting a deliberate campaign against my blood pressure?

Just received the survey email because I’m on the MN research panel.

Whoever wrote it is clearly one of those people who pronounces mischievous in a way which puts my teeth on edge, and therefore has chosen to spell it accordingly.

And the first question in the survey was this gem. I didn’t complete it.

On the upside the apostrophes are spot on.

And the phrase "things you... have done when little" doesn't sound quite right either. (I would have expected "did").

On the plus side, item 3 manages to use both "its" and "it's" correctly!

Oh MNHQ.

You've let us down. You've let yourself's down too.
