"Ministerail": The Problem Of Correcting Typos by TRUTHTOPOWER(op): 5:36pm On Oct 14, 2015

It was typed MINISTERAIL instead of MINISTERIAL. Some said typographical error but for level of where it was sent from and where it was sent to is this mistake suppose to occur?

It is amusing that whenever someone comes up to correct a typo, he ends up making the Queen of England choke on poisonous grammar. For obvious reasons, it is actually difficult to maintain accuracy when writing on a forum such as this. Keypad, auto-correction, haste and all that.

However, when you choose to correct others or point out an error, you will do well to avoid committing greater blunder - in that particular instance.

In the "corrector's" word above check his use of preposition in "for level of where". "For" should be replaced with "at" and a definite article "the" must be included in the phrase. Why? "at" and "in" "on" "upon" "whereof" etc are the appropriate prepositions for indicating place

"Suppose to occur" Seriously, you are not "supposed" to use the verb form but the adjectival form of suppose which is "supposed".

Puctuation is also necessary for mechanical accuracy. I am sure the reader can easily figure this out.

Candidly, I had to do a crash course in grammar so as to put my prima facie objections to the above quote in the context of jargons!

Bottom line: do unto others as you want them to do unto you.

An official post with less than 100 words and yet they can't be bothered to check for grammatical errors.

I dunno what the point of your thread is OP but I hope that you are not defending the carelessness of our government officials.

Admittedly, we must cross our 'Ts' and dot our 'Is' in all presidential transactions.

But when you see a group of people agonizing over issues like this to illustrate their prejudiced understanding of The President, we must rise to the occasion and defend the man to whom we freely gave our mandate.

I understand where you are coming from.
But , How can you compare a random internet article to a signed presidential data.
I would also like to defend the president but the document was in poor taste and we should not make excuses for it.
