Spot the 'deliberate' mistake

Postby Mike I » Fri Oct 16, 2009 11:58 am

So that I can do my job properly (yes, you heard), I get various e-mail updates from here and there. This mob has had a makeover. But what's wrong with their log-in page? (You might need to wait a few moments before you scream in horror.)

that can't be it as that is not an error:

It's is a contraction for it is or it has.

Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, more or less, of it or belonging to it.

Well done Nick (and Sylv).

I'll post the reply to my 'complaint' if it turns out to be amusing enough.
