Grammar Terrorism alert

I received a press release today from Kwinana's press officer.
In it, it talks about an incentive system to get people to pay their rates on time.
The release reads: Anyone who pays their rates by 29 August 2007 will go into the drawer to win $500..."
I'm sorry, go into the drawer? Which drawer? The underwear drawer?
It's 'draw', you knob. Your job is communications officer - so communicate properly.

    hahaha! I hope you never picked on me like that. Now if you'll excuse me - I must go and check my rates payment media release...

    I think the drawer sound much more fun. If I had a spare $1000 I'd pay my rates on time. Although in Batswater you probably get nothing for doing so, so they can swing for them. Until I get the red letter and the bailiffs coming round to reposess my stuff.
