Probably accurate if referring to some retirees

From the Senate budget negotiations. I guess that's means " hey buddy talk a little faster we need to get this done by Thurs".

I know this is just a typo, but, COME ON! This is not a fly-by-night website!!!

However, I did so, and the terms (or as they would say, the Terms) ARE just as poorly written as I suspected, and as the other poster stated. In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg! I also found these hidden jewels:

I see no reason why they insist on capitalizing the word "profile" throughout the terms (Terms).

This is terrible sentence "structure" (and I use that word loosely!):

We want to give you – and your friends and connections – the most useful information. Recommendations from people you know can really help. So your friends, family and others may see your Profile name and photo, and content like the reviews you share or the ads you +1’d.

But wait - there's more!

Anyone you give your login details to could use them to access your Google Account and the stuff you store with Google.

I just don't see the necessity in capitalizing terms such as "account," and "profile."

Oh, wait...here's some "Clarification:"

Thanks for using our products and services.

(Uhhh, do you mean Services? Or services? And what's the difference? Or is there a Difference?)

But no "Consistency!"

In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative messages, and other information. You may opt out of some of those communications.

This is to inform you that I came to Nigeria yesterday from London, after series of complains from the FBI CIA and other Security agencies from Asia, Europe, Oceania, Antarctica, South America and the United States of America respectively, against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the British Government for the rate of scam activities going on in these two nations.

I have met with President Dr. Good Luck Jonathan Who Was Elected as the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria By The Law Makers. Who claimed that he has been trying his best to make sure you receive your fund in your account. Right now, as directed by our secretary general Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, We are working in collaborations with the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and have decided to Ensure That Your Approved Fund Legal Papers Is Secured and authorize the Government of Nigeria to effect the payment of your Approved Fund Valid $10 M direct to your bank account.

Approved by both the British government and the UN into your account without any delay. All you need to do is to furnish us this information below is the form you must fill for confirmation

Nor was I in any way interested in their terms of service, but, you asked why profile was capitalized and I sent you to the source of the error. I may be mistaken, but, this thread is to post mistakes, not explain them. Ordinarily, the source isn't even posted.

My question was rhetorical, but thank you for your thoughtful response!

I suppose that's why I thought it so odd.
