Bloody Journalists

They don’t have proof readers anymore? The Indy got really poor towards the end of the print version
 
It was great to see a Lancaster accompanied by Spitfires and Hurricanes in the air over London during the Jubilee weekend!
 
It was originally reported as a "Hurricane jet fighter plane" or similar when in fact it does not have a jet engine but a 27 litre, 12 cylinder Rolls Royce Merlin engine and a propellor.

and shrugs shoulders........it doesn't matter
 
It matters because journalists who are so lazy and ignorant they can’t even get basic facts right in a short headline, shouldn’t be in the profession. You work in academia, I doubt you’d tolerate a paper, or a thesis with a title containing a glaring, lazy error.

depends on what you mean by tolerate! No we'd send it back for corrections, but consider it to be pretty minor affair

If it needs correction before you’d accept it, it’s not tolerable. It’s that simple. What would happen if the author declared it fit for publishing as/is and declined to correct it?
