I complained to the DfES about that error in their 'Dads & Sons' leaflet
I picked up from Burger King: "Because too many boys are not getting the
GCSE result that they potentially could of."

They replied: "Whilst every care is taken in writing the copy, there
are sometimes last minute corrections that need to be made. Often,
because of production deadlines, these corrections are made at the
printing stage rather than at the editorial stage which prevents them
being seen by the original writer."

Sigh! If the DfES can't get it right, who can?
