Dear Boots the Chemist

[SweetestThing]

The plural of "mascara" is not "mascara's" and you ask people not to look in the DRAWERS, not DRAWS.

I thank you.

People do try looking in draws quite often, but they're likely to get a slapped wrist.

I always feel slightly queasy looking at 'Boots'. The founder was Jesse Boot so it should be Boot's.

There was a double page advert in the paper last week by (I think) New Look. It must have cost a few quid to publish and went along the lines of:

Sale now on. Shirts £15 was £25. Shoes £30 was £20.

Thank you for contacting us about your recent experience in our Crawley store. I am sorry to hear your disappointed with the wording and grammer used in a number of displays within the store and you do have my apologies for this.

The irony is killing me.

You have to respond and point out the error.

I found another couple of mistakes when I read further! I'm going to highlight them all and send it back, pointing out the irony level is quite considerable

At least they said "Thank you" rather than "Thankyou". So there is some hope...

This isn't so much pedantry as just silliness.

How can it be 3 for 2 and complimentary?

Our local Tesco express has a whole section: Healthy & Beauty. It's been like that for years!
