Like the newspaper sub editors of old lecturing the reporters on their badly written subs. That said, chat rooms etc. tend to a less formal style of language, more about the immediacy of getting the point down in type. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=576#post-1684 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:08:19 +0000 rikkor 1684@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thank you, Des. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=576#post-1561 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:26:04 +0000 Des Custard 1561@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Even with correct apostrophe usage, my heading could be read as 'Rikkor is right' or as being about his right (to complain, usually), but that's by the by.</p> <p>He is right that an excellent site that publishes spoof news stories does occasionally let itself down with presentation that is not up to normal journalistic standards. You expect all members of a football team to wear the same kit (even when, like Nicklas Bendtner, they are playing for the opposition) or the hamburger chain to put the bun, the meat and the green stuff in the right order. Basic spelling and puncutation are not elitist or difficult, but they do make articles and links look and read better. </p>
