Grammar

In 1962, NASA lost about $80 million due to the grammar error.

A single missing  hyphen in the coding used to set trajectory and speed caused the craft Mariner 1(America's first interplanetary probe) to explode  minutes after take off.

Arthur C Clarke called it " the most expensive hyphen in history".

Who knows ....there might be several other and still costlier mistakes of such grammatical nature. 

So let us minimise the mistakes of any sort....to save from loss.
