Kind words from Pomona Mayor Norma Torres

bio_norma_torres[1].jpgI got this e-mail a while back from Pomona Mayor Norma Torres about a council member travel expense story Tania Chatila and I wrote. It was a very encouraging e-mail, with only one humorous error. This is how I received it:

"Thanks for the story, last year an appointed council member travel 7 cities in the 6 1/2 months he was in office. While another council member went to the atm and took several advances on the taxpayers dime, but the worse part of this is that when he ran out of money another council member back filled the expense account with an additional $5,000. These things happen because the staff protects the abusers. When I asked my city staff to report these abusers to the DA, the request fell into death ears. I don't know about you, but in Vegas if I don't know where to eat I find a buffet. It's a shame."

While it may have only one humorous error, it has a LOT of other syntax and puncutation problems. Give this letter to a high school English teacher and he or she would probably have to use the red pen about four times in the first sentence! Sheesh.

It's spelled "punctuation", genius.

Yes, Mr. Anonymous2, my right index finger hit the "u" before my left index finger hit the "t."

How about you? Did you misplace the comma, or do you just not know where it goes?
