I did promise I wouldn't moan over the Christmas holiday period, but I just couldn't let this one go. Flicking through the
Independent on Sunday (no, I didn't expect there to be papers today either), I spotted this in the 'Watch this' section of the magazine:
Royal Institut
e!! Didn't they read the
blog item that started all this
Daily Moan business? The one I castigated normally excellent
Robin Ince for? Obviously not. It should be Royal Institut
ion! Don't newspapers have sub-editors anymore? I know that the
Argus has been on strike recently over the threat to sack the local Brighton subs and move the operation to Southampton. The result was the spelling of Bright
en - twice - in
a news story! Shocking. And last night my friend Chrissie pointed out to me some of the many typos in a book of
Brighton Bus Names. In books that I read I do regularly come across a couple of literals per chapter. Should I highlight them? I would if they were in library books...
