Some common mistakes in written English...

I am not an English expert, but as I was reading a publication and an application form, I picked up certain phrases and words where I thought there were some rooms for improvement as far as written English is concerned. I would like to share my comments:

Instead of "a" NTUC member, it should be "an" NTUC member because NTUC is pronounced as AN-TUC.

• There is a lack of consistency in writing. The first two bulleted items do not begin with "Coupon", why should the third begin with one?
• "from Mon - Thurs" should be "from Monday to Thursday" or "from Mon to Thu". To use the short form, it should be consistent throughout, such as Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat and Sun, or else just write them in full.
• "Limited to a maximum 6 tickets per original coupon." could be better written as "Each original coupon is entitled to purchase a maximum of six tickets." The word "original" could be omitted because it is generally understood that the coupon printed in the publication should be used. If copy (photocopy) of the coupon is allowed, it would have been stated.

• "Applicable to 18 years and above" could be better written as "Applicable to those aged 18 and above" or "Minimum age to qualify is 18".
• The second bulleted item should be "...must be presented...". But, I believe this was a typographical error because the same mistake was not repeated in the other coupon in the same publication.

The following image was taken from a website. There is a common mistake many people make when using the word "comprise", there is no "of" after the word "comprise". One should write "consists of" or "comprises".
