There are some glaring grammatical errors committed by prominent organisations

Sep 29, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

I am not an English academic; however, I am intrigued to point out some of the glaring grammatical errors that are committed by prominent organisations. There is a huge billboard at the traffic light on the Public Road on the East Coast which directs persons to the University of Guyana. I posit that this billboard was not proofread by the authorities at the UG. It reads “UG Authorize Taxi”. I am convinced that ‘Authorize” has to be in past tense; hence, it must read “UG Authorized Taxi”.
I had visited a pharmacy and I saw a certificate issued by The Pharmacy Council of Guyana that read “It is hereby certified that the above name person has been duly registered…” It is the similar error as above and should read “…above named…” where named is past tense. I urge and appeal to proof read before anything is published sometimes it can be a simple typo.

Yours truly,
Kevin Ramesh
