7 costly clerical errors

This is the punctuation error that always first comes to mind for me: “The cartoon character Popeye the Sailor Man is portrayed as having a strong affinity for spinach, becoming physically stronger after consuming it. The BBC has reported that this portrayal is partially due to the iron content having been mistakenly being reported as ten times the actual value; a value that was rechecked during the 1930s, whereby it was revealed that the original calculations of the German scientist, Dr. E. von Wolf, contained a misplaced decimal point.” (From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinach#Spinach_in_popular_culture)

oh pepsi, they have an awful marketting program and a long history of moronic bumbling mistakes that cost them huge sums of money.

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.”

Because of the second comma, the phrase between the two comments can be ommitted if necessary. Had they written it like this: “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.” then they would have to do the first five years before they could terminate the contract. Hope this helps.
