"Reported number of documents is "over 60", tjhe actual number is 62. not inaccurate because it says "over" 60 but still is it that hard to write 62"
ReplyDelete"tjhe" should be "the". "not" should be capitalized. A period is missing at the end of the last sentence.
Other than those couple of errors the rest is well done.
"Reported number of documents is "over 60", tjhe actual number is 62. not inaccurate because it says "over" 60 but still is it that hard to write 62"
ReplyDeleteThis sentance should be altered to:
"tjhe" is a spelling error, it should read "the"
To start the second sentance it should read "This is not inaccurate..." as to make it more clear.
