And we could bring up their inability to correctly pronounce English words. Never mind foreign ones. |

Despite us being in the 21 century all news readers are scientific and mathematical illiterates.That may be true, but in this case you shouldn't really blame the newsreaders - they only read what they see on the autocue. It is the editorial satff who are the real no-hopers (the same ones who consistently display awful spelling errors and typos in the captions). Incidentally, I noticed that during a recap, Hilary Barry actually did say "comet", so I don't know if that is kudos to her for quick thinking, or someone behind the scenes with one more brain cell than the rest. |

You've just illustrated the basic cause of the frequent errors. One person enters the text. Another person must do the proofreading. There's an instinctive block on seeing your own errors. "Me make mistakes?" |

"Me make mistakes?"Dead right. That's why I get my wife to proof all the documents I produce - she is a superb proofreader. |
