I find these typos in seemingly every NR put out by PTK totally unacceptable. Can't they get someone to take responsibility for making sure what gets published is correct?? It's not fricken rocket science!!! If anybody sold as a result of thinking we were delayed until 2017 should be able to sue over this. IMO

Slightly OT, but as we're closed and into the weekend...

I help design and produce an annual report and a companion publication for a Fortune 100 company. On the last evening each year before the IR people sign off on it, we (with them) spend about 5 hours spellchecking the layouts, and then searching for standard phrases in typical mispellings we have compiled over the years; instances of commas and periods in the wrong places, even every single hyphen throughout approximately 150 pages of material. Frequently the act of doing this will cause us to stumble upon certian inconsistencies in how information may be repeated in multiple places, as well as homophones that naturally evade detection by the spell check.

Now I know that POET has no such in-house IR team that could do similar, but there's really no excuse for this kind of thing slipping through the eyes responsible for posting the document electronically. By now, there should be a routine method in place for a final, careful examination of every document that is about to be made public.
