Catch of the Week - April 8th

I was reading my textbook for a Technical writing class the other day and I stumbled upon a silly error. The book is entitled The Essentials of Technical Communication by Elizabeth Tebeaux and Sam Dragga. Technical communication is all about business writing such as proposals, progress reports, business letters and so on. On page 174, the authors are discussing topically arranging formal reports. The sentence reads as follow, "In topical arrangement, the order in which you present your ideas should be logical and inclusive For example..." All the sentence needs is a period between inclusive and For.
