Something for nothing? Spelin eror?
Page 152 of the 2003 Carba-Tec catalogue up the top left hand corner shows an Angle Bevel with the words in Bold and capital letters "COMPLIMENTARY ANGLE BEVEL"
This implies the item is free.
Further studying of the catalogue reveals this angle bevel consists of a right angle with piece diving the right angle into two angles that add up to a right angle.
A check of the dictionary to confirm my memories of trigonometry reveals that two angles that add up to a right angle are said to be COMPLEMENTARY but not COMPLIMENTARY.
Carba-Tec are extremely generous if they are giving it away for free but I suspect as the Angle Bevel is made in the United States perhaps Carba-Tec have adopted a US style of spelling.
If they are going for free though, let me know and I will pick one up as they look like they could be handy.
Am I being too pedantic? Am I making myself a target whenever I make the smallest mistake?
I can take as good as I give.

Sir Stinkalot,
I will let you know if I ever get around to it but if it is free and there is no statement indicating a restriction on quantities then I will grab two of them and you can come around and pick it up.
I will even throw in a free beer for you.
On the other hand as I am a bit busy, perhaps someone else could pick up three of them, one for Sir Stinkalot, one for me and one for themselves.

So sorry but read the inside cover at the bottom where it says "Notice"
The small print bit about errors and omissions etc.

Obviously I deserve to be punished for being so critical whilst being careless. I will forgo my free gift. You can have my Angle Bevel Ken.
Have a good weekend.

And I always thought an angle was one of those winged sheila's in Heaven who does cheese adds in her spare time
