Comma quirk irks Rogers

[Frank <frank -at- research -dot- canon -dot- com -dot- au>]

From Monday's Globe and Mail:

   It could be the most costly piece of punctuation in Canada.

   A grammatical blunder may force Rogers Communications Inc. to pay an
   extra $2.13-million to use utility poles in the Maritimes after the
   placement of a comma in a contract permitted the deal's cancellation.

   The controversial comma sent lawyers and telecommunications
   regulators scrambling for their English textbooks in a bitter
   18-month dispute that serves as an expensive reminder of the
   importance of punctuation.
