Someone recommended to me The Disappearance, an eight-part French thriller shown on BBC4. The subtitles came with a glaring mangle:

From Just Liam comes this mind-boggling mangle. As is isn’t possible to determine how vacancies are uploaded and by whom, the perpetrator is not apparent, although the bonus mangle, from the same page, must certainly be the university’s own text:

Smoothly following on from yesterday’s contribution, in which an academic institution used unedited copy to promote a course on editing, today’s mangle was found, by Dr Faustus, on the blog of a journalism website:

From Chris Gibbons comes this unfortunate slip in an illustration in a list of facts about the London Underground.
