What happened to the proof reader?

They are sold in boxes of 100 and make sending your companies mail really quick and simple ...

That chilling misuse of the English language doesn't come from a small, underfunded company, it is from the Royal Mail shop selling bulk stamps and pre-paid envelopes. My immediate reaction was to cut and paste the offending text and send it to the Contact Us page with a suggested correction. I'm still looking for somewhere to send it. My second thought was that they were involved in a segmentation exercise - they actually intended the page to be read only by individuals who own more than one company. That second thought is so improbable that I'll ignore it.
