I just got an email from a company about a product I ordered. The last line is:
"If we met your expectations tell others, if we didn't tell us!"
missing a comma, right?
"If we met your expectations tell others, if we didn't, tell us!"
This has been driving me nuts.My photoblog

Shouldn't it be "If we met your expectations, tell others. If we didn't, tell us"? Originally Posted by TsPoet
