Check for typo's
Checked my to-do list this morning, got a couple of things coming up, testing all day today and tomorrow, then another guy contacts me and says am I ready to start the testing for another project. I check the RAG report I got from him yesterday and it said to be done between 12 May - 31 May. So I had scheduled it for next week.
"Oh sorry, mate that was a typo, should have been the 13 May."
Oh brother gonna be a busy couple of days.

Still got a few mins for CUK while the tests are running.

Hence my question to you.Originally posted by russell View PostThat's a good point although starting a sentence with a conjunction is something only an Asda Trolley Collector interview reject would do.

I wouldn't know, I'm neither a Trolley Collector nor an English Teacher. Making sure my grammar is perfect on a forum is not a priority.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostWould they also refrain from any form of visible punctuation?
