Confusing phrasing
Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2013 8:56 am
I have had a number of sad emails worded as below:
'Subject: CC Notification: Your article 'Is a Zero Percent Credit Card Deal Right for You?' will be moved to the general pool.
Your article titled 'Is a Zero Percent Credit Card Deal Right for You?' that was submited (sic) for the request Articles needed on Credit Cards and Personal Finance will be moved to the general pool in case it hasn't been purchased for full rights during a period of three days. Thank You.'
Does this mean: 'Your article will be moved if it hasn't been purchased within three days.'?
That's the only meaning I can get from it, but the wording is so odd I would like confirmation. There doesn't seem to be much point in warning about the move three days ahead of time, which makes me think maybe the meaning is different.
Thanks for any light that can be shed. Cheers.
