It simply doesn't scan well and that is ignoring the misuse of "there" there. I'm far from perfect in this regard but if you're going to be putting out that sort of thing to clients you really should make sure it flows as nicely as possible.

Oh dear.
My god.. it's not hard to differentiate between the three. Any failure to do so has to be down to them being too lazy to bother to learn the difference. It's utterly preposterous? Simple stuff like that should be enough to embarrass them, surely?
