    It’s a cracker! (I blame him out of Frasier.) Or is it Frazier?

    Sad to say, even the Times now has to employ copywriters who went to bog standard comprehensives.

    Love it! I particularly enjoyed the placement of the “Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training could help” advert at the top of the page – priceless! 🙂

    Cringe! Are there no editors, proof readers, spell checks???

    There’s no room for proof readers, editors and spell checkers in the online journalism world – this is a stack them high, sell them cheap market.

    Most places two journalists will just double check each others work and then there will be a revisions editor that will fix anything they spot or someone complains about after publication.
