Mangling English: an occasional rant

Businesses that don't bother checking their websites, journalists who write gibberish and balderdash, professionals who can't take the extra time and effort to spell-check and proofread, newspapers that turn tragedy into farce through solecisms, plus the odd guide to solving common grammatical difficulties… Contributions and suggestions welcome. (… Also corrections if required, obviously!) Send to: manglingenglishATgmxDOTcom, stating your nom de mangle (if desired).

Source: The Daily Telegraph, ‘“Noah” engulfed by wave of criticism’, 24 March 2014

The offending word is correct in the online version, but Times Live’s reproduction of the article in full, complete with error, suggests that an earlier online version might not have been correct.
