Global Alert Giggle

That reminds me of this old gem:

In the freshman English class, a young student submitted a paper
containing the sentence:
"The lady was descending the stairs when she tripped, fell, and lay
prostitute on the floor."
The professor circled the offending word and added this note. In his
Anguished English, Richard Lederer reports that this note has been
attributed to William Lyon Phelps and others:

"My dear young lady, you must learn to distinguish between a fallen
woman and one who has temporarily lost her balance."

Perhaps in some countries, where this may have been written, it is
Falled instead of fallen or fell.

I got this global alert as part of some testing; it's only a typo, but
mildly amusing. I hope someone at Epicor reads this and does a quick
copy edit. The corporate website process is a bit cumbersome for
something this small.

[Part Details snipped...]
On Hand Quantity = 522 Below Reorder Point = 1000
The listed part inventory quantity has falled below the reorder point.
