That's another thing; I've seen examples of extremely poorly-written reports that are riddled with spelling and grammatical errors where it's apparently been passed by the author, edited by someone else, then signed off by a senior figure in the unit whose role is to provide 'quality assurance' or something similar. While I can accept that the original author may have made errors, I've never understood how such reports get past the unit's own internal monitoring procedure, even before being supplied to the curator - it suggests that the editor and 'quality assurance' person probably didn't really read it.
You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum
