Not a bug, just bad grammar:
It should say "Petitioner's" and "Beneficiary's" at the top of the personal "My Timeline" page where the respective names are listed (not "Petitioners" and "Benficiaries").

Perhaps, I was taught English differently. If the heading is, "My Timeline" this is in first person singular. First person singular possessive would be, "Petitioner's" and "Beneficiary's" Now if the heading were, "Our Timelines", I would agree 100% with your correction.

therefore, no grammar error on the website tongue.gif

When you click on MY timeline, it should say "Petitioner's" and "Beneficiary's". As it currently says "Petitioners" and "Beneficiaries", the website is in error.

Okay, I'm not surprised, really. Any particular reason then why it hasn't been corrected yet? Captain Ewok?
(I know, it's not of earth-shattering importance and I'm sure most people just read over it the way I must have done dozens of times without the error actually registering, but when it does it grates on you --- at least it has that effect on me. )
