I was advised by my friend Becca that if I wanted to find errors then I need look no further than the Daily Mail website. So today, I decided to take her advice and have a look. I picked a story at random and immediately found an error. The story was about Jeremy Bamber and you can read the full article here
The paragraph in question is : Bamber, 50, believes large number of police officers tarnished crime scene at 1985 murder of five of his family memebrs
As the blog title suggests, this is just a typo, but one not checked before hitting the 'go live' button - the word members has been spelt incorrectly.
There is another error on here which is just stupid really and has been commented on at the bottom of the article. They show two pictures of two completely different rooms, yet claim they are the same room. Take a look for yourself and see what you think...
Welcome to my blog, focusing on the mistakes and downright bad English that can be found in various outlets for the written word. I have decided to record on this blog any errors I come across; whether it be emails, restaurant menus, online articles or in the printed press. I would like to stress now that my English isn't perfect and I don't know all the rules and my intention is not to berate or preach, just to inform. I will also inevitably make spelling errors and typos myself!
Haha I was just gonna email you today that their website is absolutely rife, I can send you links in work if you want ;) xxx
