A company I had previously used to purchase European Railway tickets emailed me about a competition.

The way to enter the competition was to use 3 words to describe high speed rail travel in Europe.

A couple of weeks later, I got an email about the winner:

[name] is now the lucky winner of an iphone. Her 3 words to describe high speed rail travel in Europe were Thrilling, Stress Free and Green!

Not including the “and”, notice something?

Hmm I think I have spotted the deliberate mistake. The person was supposed to be describing but instead they capitalised every word like you would in a title. Very very naughty of them wink

Okay, okay I know there are more than 3 words, just jiving you grin

Best wishes,

Mark
