Multimangle, # 54

Dubious grammar and punctuation:

Link: The Scotman, ‘Scots Students Losing out to English at Home Universities’

number … are + punctuation

Spellchecking Is Never Enough, # 231

Clearly a mistype here, although arguably the word that should have been typed isn’t quite what’s meant either:

Link: The Scotman, ‘Edinburgh Man Accused of Mock Crucifixion of Co-worker’

complaint for compliant [but arguably compliant not right either]

Not Washed or Cooked, # 26

Here are some examples of a not-uncommon mangle that shouldn't have got through a proofread, and clearly didn't have a spell-check. First, a headline:

Link: Daily Telegraph, 'Good News Britian…'

The writer may not have been responsible for the headline, of course, but it does make you wonder whether the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development is an institute where spelling doesn't matter…

Now some copy, so definitely the fault of the writer, Stuart Kelly:

Link: The Scotsman, 'King Arthur, Prince of Scots'

And finally, a heading that undermines the authority of anything else on the page:
