What would an article summary be without hyperbole?Why say it's a costly error when you can say it is perhaps the most costly error ever in Canada?So lame.

Definately reminds me of that book Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

The apostrophe could make it possesive or a contraction... what's the problem?

Without an explicit 'or', I find this argument to be very weak. Oh well Rogers will just sue the lawyers that wrote up the contract.
