I hope the house rules allow me to ask the question-did anyone proof-read , or spell check this article ???
Apologies for the small mistake in saying ‘offensive’ instead of ‘offence’ and for the stray V in ‘subject’. I’m sure the average reader could work out what it was meant to say…
We are publishing over 5,000 articles a year and in July alone we published 563 news articles. There is always going to be an odd mistake when you are talking about hundreds of thousands of words being read, digested and typed.
The demand and pressure on our journalists has never been higher. We have worked flat out for 18 months covering the coronavirus pandemic and all other Island news. So please do give us some slack for the odd mistake here and there…
Don’t bite Darren… There’s always one… If they couldn’t work out what it was supposed to say, they have the problem.
Keep up the good work
How come you were able to edit your comment and yet we can’t edit ours now? We should be able to have the option to put right the odd typo or two. The editing facility always used to be there. Why has it been denied to us?
