Definately you're mistake, its often done - so is spelling's, typo's and
grammer errors. If you'd put it in a book instead of an email you'd be
laughing all the way to the bank: Lynne Truss' book "Eats, Shoots and
Leaves", which takes its title from a grammaticaly incorrect anecdote about
pandas, has taken over £5m since it was first printed in November! Her
best-selling grammar guide picked up the "British Book of the Year" award.

To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer .
