Since we're talking pedantry, it wasn't really a typo, was it?

how about a senior moment then, or even a Freudian slip? although I don't see how in that case.

yes, agreed, typo.

Don't think so, most people would read it as Rocket Propelled Grenade, I don't think a rocket propelled gun would be much use

And Rocket Propelled grenade is a backronym from Russian ручной противотанковый гранатомёт meaning "hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher" (as this isn't an academic site source Rocket-propelled grenade - Wikipedia)

an RPG to me is a Report Program Generator, whilst I guess it means Rocket Propelled Gun for most of the public.

Erm.. Well at least he didn't mention his court case I guess... :

Don't forget PHP which now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, which the PHP FAQ describes as a "recursive acronym."

While context is important, and I'm a pedant at heart (I cringe any time I hear someone say PIN Number), I think its fairly obvious what someone means when they say "under IR35".

Indeed. It might be to us but not to the poster hence my pedantry.

I'd never really notice the PIN number one before thanks you it will now grate my gears for ever more

Very good points and links. It does say 'under IR35 REFORM' as jk also points out and all very true and correct.. but looking at the context of the poster that I replied to he's using the wrong terminology. Just pointing it out as it could be down to a lack of understanding of the whole shebang at a fundamental level.

If you're not sure, you could ask QDOS

Which expenses can contractors claim when working inside IR35?

Seeing this 'under' terminology used a lot recently (as opposed to inside/outside)

Perhaps its from the GSK letters ?

''After looking at the information we have for the 2018 to 2019 tax year, our view is that the contract between your PSC and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) comes under the off-payroll working rules ‘IR35’.''

And they'd still be wrong. More likely a complete lack of understanding of IR35 IMO.
