the lack of an effective editorial process

here's a snippet from the paper i read en route to work....


Yob gets jail spell...
AN man who caused £11,000 damage to his ex-partner's car was caught by bad SPELLING.
Lee Wilson, 27, attacked the £18,000 Peugeot before spraying "bitch" in paint - spelling it "bich".

i need to get into uni to put them up on the interweb though as the computers at work don't have any working USB slots or disc drives.

I misread today's Metro headline as "Navy cunts make top brass join rag trade"

"AN man"?

yeah. you'd think the halfwit that penned the article would've made sure it didn't suffer from any spelling/grammatical mistakes given it's "ha ha laugh at the thicky who can't use english properly" nature
