Unable to do so may result to abnormal account behavior during transactions.

Thank you for using PayPal!

I’m sure a lot of paypal users have seen similar – unfortunately the latest seems to be skipping right past the spam filters…:-(. I note that obviously whoever wrote this is not from PayPal – otherwise they might actually understand English grammer.

“In accordance” is usually a reference to something said or written – not actions. “Unable to do so may result to abnormal account behaviour” makes little to no sense unless you consider it written by a mad French man after a day’s worth of English lessons…;-) Maybe we could eliminate a lot of spam by simply merging a spam filter with a grammer checker? Hmm… There at least a half dozen other grammatical errors…
