Not Washed or Cooked, # 28

As you might have realized from a manglepost last week, I've recently discovered the Guardian's Consumer Champions section, which is filling me with horror at the pitfalls of ever doing anything or buying anything or hiring anything or going anywhere at all, never mind ever dealing with any kind of financial institution. This is all in addition to giving me the odd wince, and occasional hysterics, at the spelling, grammatical and typographical errors.

So a short series from Consumer Champions starts today with Best in Class:


I can't imagine why the offending word has been placed in quotation marks: it's spelt correctly both times it appears in the body of the piece.* The spirit of the Grauniad lives on!


* Perhaps the Consumer Champions use Blogger, whose spell-checker has failed to flag 'backlooger', although it has now identified 'Blogger' as problematic!
