Grammar Police on patrol

For those whom this might amuse:

Subject: Typographical error on “Commuter Benefits Order Fulfillment” email

OK, so admit it, I’m ridiculously picky, and this is a ridiculously trivial thing I’m writing to you about.  Still, on the off chance that someone there might care about it…

 

The “Commuter Benefits Order Fulfillment” email I just got from you reads in part as follows:

 

Participant Address On File:
street address
City MA, 02XXX

 

The comma should be after “City“, not after “MA”.  There isn’t supposed to be a comma between the state abbreviation and the ZIP code.

 

Do what you will with this.

 

Thanks,

    Being picky, how many times have you seen this?

    Your welcome!

    Enjoyed Staples story as I am enjoying my own Staples story.
