Private detectives with impeccable grammar?

Yesterday, as a result of boredom and a yearly-doctor-checkup day off of work (him, not me; I'm a dirty hippie grad student who is teaching evenings and weekends this summer), el SigOther and I went to see Don't Mess With the Zohan, a movie which included both an allegorical look at British colonization of the Middle East and Adam Sandler catching a fish with his ass. When we left the movie theater, there was a bright green flyer on my windshield for a service called "New York Trackers," which purports to help suspicious spouses and girlfriends/boyfriends catch their other halves in the act of cheating. Here is the first paragraph of the flyer, reprinted here as written (for your enjoyment):

Being unfaithful or having an affair, whatever you call it; it is likely to be one of the most painful And devastating things that can happen to you. Not knowing if your spouse is cheating on you or Not is equally as painful. Let us find the truth with out spending hundreds or thousands on private Investigators. Let us help you at New York Trackers; here we are able to get you the truth with out Costing you a fortune:
One service is offered is GPS vehicle tracking, where a car can be "equipped" with a tracking device. Also,
we have software that can run totally in stealth; that is, it is virtually undetectable to the user it will NOT show up in the task manager ... These programs monitor Keystroke's, Emails Sent and Received, Internet Chat Conversations, Website Activity, Screenshot Capturing and much more.
All legality issues aside, style and usage DO function in advertising, kiddies. +1 for using an unlisted phone number, though.
