Someone said "correctness is the servant of understanding," but sometimes correctness is a big deal.

The second comma in the following sentence cost Rogers Communications over a million dollars in a contract dispute:

�The agreement shall continue in force for a period of five years from the date it is made, and thereafter for successive five year terms, unless and until terminated by one year prior notice in writing by either party.�

The introduction to the court�s decision shows the judge had a dry sense of humor.

Steve, I always enjoy your doggerel.
