    One insurance company tried that once.  However, their typographical claim form contained over 4 typographical errors.  They spent so much time and money settling their own claims, that they didn't have time to correct the errors on the form and finally went bankrupt.

      Great answer, except that that final comma doesn’t belong there AT ALL. Grrrrrrr.

      So you don’t have anything to show me proof that you have a valid, non-expired policy covering your use of grammar, sir? (Sigh.) Yet another citation.

    show me proof show proof. Omit needless words! One of the central themes in The Elements of Style. Your proof of insurance, please. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at January 9, 2022 11:49 AM MST

    Funny how a GPU officer fails to respond to his own infraction. Above the law?

    They do.  It's called errors and omissions coverage.  Every realtor and attorney has that coverage.

    A way to make that funny escapes me. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at January 8, 2022 2:36 PM MST

      “A way to make that funny escapes me.”

    (Sigh.) That alone is sufficient probable cause for a citation, even without a grammar infraction.

    I'm sure that is so and others as well.  I personally know about realtors and lawyers.

    Are you getting kickbacks from the insurance company?

      Of course not! That would be not only illegal, it’s also unethical! I resent the implication that I would even be involved in such shenan….oh, there’s a video camera in the conference room? Er, um, no comment. (Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.)
