Grammar mistake in the confirmation email.

Sidguard — GMT

This is going to be a bit of a weird post, but I've been offered a reward if I can find the grammatical mistake in the confirmation email. I've used 2 chances, first saying it's, its and then "Space Marine Librarian" has too many caps. But I'll be honest, im rubbish at this.

"Hobbyist" shouldn't be capitalized.

That was my first thought as well. "It's" should only have the apostrophe when it's a shortened form of "it is". When you use "its" as a possessive term, like, "the cat scratched its post", then you don't have an apostrophe. Space Marine Librarian should all be capitalised. "Space Marine" is an organisation or group, so should be capitalised, Librarian is a title, so again should be capitalised. "Hobbyist" has no reason to be capitalised.

Its isn't possessive.

'Here's a quick reminder of what's coming your way'

Should have some sort of punctuation at the end of it.

No but I think the accidental irony may have been lost on most.

Yeah it is. "on its way". The "way" is the thing "its" possesses

Its supposed to be a missing word.

This very clearly belongs in off-topic guys, the fact that it is a GW email does not change the fact that it has nothing to do with wargaming in context.

Moving!

"Your order has now been picked and is on its way to you!"

Is it supposed to be picked up?

Well that wouldn't be a grammar error, it'd just be an error. It could have been picked out of a bunch and now on its way.

This sentence needs either a colon or a period.

Clearly Perhaps you should elaborate then?

Oh balls. That's what I get for posting on my phone. I thought I had typed "it's isn't possessive."

I am, in this particular instance, a fool.

Picked, in this context is a warehousing term, meaning the order has been sent to the warehouse and it has been picked.
