I think if it's what you are employed for it should be right. Hey come on boys and girls it is a Morgan site perfection comes from a different country. Working overseas 40 years or so ago as well as the lightweight Torygraph we also received a copy of Punch magazine. At the time Alan Coren was writing a brilliant parody about Big Dada Idi Amin written in his speak and it was one of the funniest series ever and a total delight to read and not one word spelt correctly  To err is human

My company employs quite a lot of non-Brits in European sales, We recently got a professional training company in to run a course on writing in English, it was an older lady (so not someone of the texting generation) and I was horrified by some of the things she said, like the (proper) use of apostrophes doesn't matter any more! even implying it was incorrect. What hope is there?  Sadly, I think your course leader has a point. Use of apostrophes has, of course, been dynamic and subject to fashion ever since a printer first used an apostrophe to mark an omission in the 16th century. Possessives seem to have retained apostrophes beyond many other contracted forms, although to the confusion of greengrocers everywhere, not for personal pronouns (his, its, whose, theirs, yours etc). Why these don't take an apostrophe for the possessive, while their nouns do, is a mystery best left to linguistic historians... Few writers today, for example, would use one in 'fridge, or 'phone. I suspect fewer still would use "sha'n't" for shall not. Nor would any Admiral expect to be piped aboard by a Bo's'n's whistle  Rules for use of apostrophes have always been confusing. The Wikipedia entry is actually surprisingly good on the subject, highlighting a few idiosyncrasies in usage. I was always amused, if not bemused, by the two adjacent Piccadilly line stations, Barons Court and Earl's Court. Splendidly inconsistent.

Yes errors don't show the company in a good light if they are careless over the text what does that say when making our cars!

Just been trying to find more details on the new prices but except for the M3W (which seems to revert back to the 'old' M3W site) I cannot find any prices other than the 'from £32,700 ex VAT' (eg for +4) base price. The list of options is there but no accompanying prices - unless anyone has found them? But in having a closer look, the base price for the Plus 8 appears to have dropped quite a bit - about £9K (from Feb 2014 price list). Is this right?  Shall we form a queue now .... or is this another typo, or is the 'basic' version of the Plus 8 now more basic (difficult to see), or an effect of what is to be revealed tomorrow, or is it my maths...

Seems to be working process as no mention of 4 seaters anywhere and I couldn't get the car configurator to work
There seems to be a few new or different photos on the website and am I right in thinking the Roadster has come in for a few spec changes - new dash
Not sure what the Morgan Live is all about - it seems to be a direct link to all Morgans social media outlets which is quite a nice feature if you are into that sort of thing which I am
It certainly seems to be going in a positive direction though with plenty of emphasis on provenance and craftsmanship although I found it clunky on the iPad
I am sure it's functionality and content will improve in the coming days

Agreed. Do it well and get it right the first time is the least costly way.
Every time.

If you can't change it, don't worry about it...

Not the best on a smart phone either.
