   This is the gold standard for apostrophe abuse. Utter perfection.

     @mike What I find galling is that while the first two apostrophes were wrong, why doesn't the third line have one? If you can't be correct, at least be consistent!

     @adz @mike thinking back on other heinous examples, I think inconsistency is what marks the greats from the mediocre masses

     @mike When you google your insurance company with "make a claim", often times it's not your insurance company that comes up. It's this mob, or a company like them, that's the first result. Because they pay for the advertising.

     @mike They have a couple of different versions of their website too, in common insurance company colours. Google RACV motor claims, you'll go to their website, and it's blue and yellow. Google AAMI motor claims, you'll still get to their website, and it'll be red.

     @ThePingMachine if they put that much effort into their web site BS, I'm now wondering if the apostrophe selection was a deliberate attempt to get photos of their ad circulated on social media.

     @mike These guys are monsters for more than just flagrant disregard for the english language. For certain legal reasons, I can't call them "scammers", but I believe I can call them cunts.

     @ThePingMachine oh yeah there's no way "free excess" translates to anything other than someone getting ripped off somewhere.
