Not Washed or Cooked, # 225

An insensitive typographical error spotted by Dr Faustus:

Link: The Guardian, ‘Sir Christopher Bayly obituary’

The headline formulation is sloppy too: ‘obituary’ either needs to be made a content-type heading (Sir Christopher Bayly: Obituary or Obituary: Sir Christopher Bayly) or the text rephrased to make the term sound less like part of the man’s name (Obituary of Sir Christopher Bayly) — and when did academic professional titles cease to take initial capitals?
