(Also, that quote is ungrammatical. The objects of the verb "are" should be in parallel; to correct the problem, simply add "on" before the word "probation".

Yes, I am anal, but I also point these things out because of a paranoid fear that one of you will notice one that I didn't mention, and think that I missed it. I didn't miss it!!!)
Gah! Yes, I did miss that one. God. Now that you've pointed it out, it's going to annoy me forever.
