First error I see is the use of “It's”, there is no ownership in this instance so “It is” would be used.

Can't should be "cannot".

Silly grammar nitpicking yet it was pointed out for the Vendor's lawyer showing we all make mistakes.
Um...you do know that "it's" is a contraction of "it is" right? So the 2 can be used interchangeably.

Use of "can't" is a preference. While grammatically correct, one should avoid the use of contractions in formal correspondence. I don't think internet message boards qualify.

Appropriate that you would choose "it's" to nitpick, considering that you seem to be a Python fan.

The Knights who say "Ni--!".

Of course my ref. to grammar was in jest to those that would pick others apart. Granted a lawyer should have proof read his work.

Re: Good Response

Heh. So by criticizing your post satirizing people who criticize grammar, I created a sort of recursive irony.

"NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!"

Man, maybe I should get some work done today...
