  • English as a last language

    Invoice from my daughter's HVAC/E/P contractor based in Wyoming:
    "... The diagnostic fee, repairs made today, and 50% of future repairs are due today. We
    except: Cash/Checks/Credit-Debit Card."

    ... may I take a brake from this?

    And just do they know what "future repairs" will be needed? I smell a scam.

      No, they've been good people. What they're trying to say is "parts & stuff to finish the job"...

        ...and the grammar fairy looks at 'accept...except' and gives up the will to live.

        Meanwhile,may I offer this gem as evidence of someone who might know English, but hasn't got to the chapter dealing with Capital letters and punctuation

          That makes more sense.
