oh, my God! Oct 25, 2004

To think that I quitted Dutch after the first year...

It could be the most serious mistake in my career, and pounds, no less!

Got to be a mistake Oct 29, 2004

Yes, for a few seconds I stared at the total amount. Kind of stupefying really...

But don't you think it's some kind of mistake? Maybe the currency is not US dollars, or something.

I think it's gotta be a mistake.

at least they're honest Nov 19, 2004

So, you know what to expect

And I prefer typos over a very vaguely written document. At least with the typos you can guess what the writer meant!
