Typos in the Nuwz…I Mean News: BBC, APEC, and Obama

November 16, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

bbcOff the front page of BBC News, in the article entitled “Apec leaders drop climate target,” this freelance copywriter found a typo.

What The BBc wrote:

But leaders have failed to agree a target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) forum.

What A. James Editing (also known as me) would have written:

apec

But leaders have failed to agree on a target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) forum.

While the aim of my site is to catch linguistic hiccups wherever I find them and not make comments regarding the politics of the day, I would still recommend that you read this article. It’s short, I promise.
