I would like to introduce a new category : the ambiguous non-word !

I received an eMail today, containing a gem of a typo.

[quote] This survey will help the National Physical Laboratory understand how they can offer value to their customers, stakeholders, and wider meterology industry. [/quote]

Not meteorology

Not metrology

but some unfortunate mongrel !

Yes, thanks V8 … I found that made-up word … but the eMail covers a genuine survey being conducted by Ipsos, on behalf of NPL

Has anyone mentioned the use, in police circles, of the word 'intelligence' ?

Severely lacking in my experience.

It's about time someone mentioned the apocryphal newspaper headline for the report of an escapee from the local asylum who sexually assaulted a woman in a laundry, then ran away.

'Nut screws washer and bolts'.
