Another mangle via Dr Faustus. An Internet search shows that this is a fairly common typographical error, but any spell-checker should pick it up as it is not actually a word:
Link: Daily Mail, ‘Teacher feared to be second Briton kidnapped […]’ |
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).
