I think I may have mentioned before, how all job adverts seem to be 
appallingly badly written. Like, if my CV was written as badly as the 
job adverts, nobody would ever hire me.

Well, now I think I know why. We recently placed an advert on some job 
site. The text we have the agent was written just fine. But, for no 
defined reason, the agent went and changed a bunch of text, so now the 
grammar and punctuation is all screwed up. They also removed a critical 
legal requirement from the text.

We yelled at them to change it back, or at least fix the more glaring 
errors. They changed it a bit, but it was still broken. So we yelled at 
them some more, and managed to get them to fix a few more things. But 
eventually we let the advert go out still broken, because it was just 
too difficult to convince the agent to fix it properly.

I can't even begin to comprehend why the agent changed the text in the 
first place. One of the guys outs point that the agent's registered 
company address is actually a residential estate though...
