I wonder what percentage of people know the difference between "complimentary" and "complementary". I'm guessing close to zero based on what I see written in many places ....
No, but we are people who prepared requests for proposals and other contract-related documents, and one of the women retiring is in my writing group.
Speaking of RFPs and related contractual things ... we had a guy who wrote a part of an RFP that somehow got past editors ... he wrote i.e. when he meant e.g. Can you imagine the confusion of (knowledgeable) proposing contractors? Fortunately, proposers were allowed to ask for clarifications.

I guess, IF the proposers knew what i.e. and e.g. mean in the first place.

Only the person Nice6 quoted knows what he meant, but it has occurred to me that the geography may not be off here. Myrtle Beach is close to the border with NC, so it may be awkward wording meant to refer to a location northeast of Myrtle Beach, in North Carolina.
Which, come to think of it, actually fits the thread topic better than an example of an error in geography.

Or perhaps they're psychic, and know the hurricane is going to blow MB into NC.
