Double-take, # 183

Following on from yesterday’s post… I’d gone online to find out whether the website for the Rollright Stones placed an apostrophe in King’s Men, unlike the sign at the physical site, and was surprised to find this oddness (which continues further down the page than I've clipped here) on the page that introduces the various sets of stones: 

Link: The Rollright Stones, ‘The Stones’

Diagnosis: unedited/undeleted placeholders. These may or may not have been visible to the person inputting the text, but they would certainly have been visible to someone checking the page, before (preferably) or after making it live, a practice that should be routine and which, as these leftovers demonstrate, is essential.


Insert… Insert… [&c. Undeleted instructions]
