Dear BBC,

I would gladly accept a job proofreading copy before it goes out on your website. This would be to your advantage as well as mine, because right now you seem to be edited by lolcats.

(And here's a screencap in case the BBC eventually fixes the headline.)

ETA: Headline has now been fixed on the site. Still, that was quite an error to have got through in the first place.

Oh BBC! You're usually so good! Checking our state paper, The Age, before going to bed is always hilarious - I think they just let the journalists post at night without getting the proofreaders in, or even a computer spellcheck. Apostrophes galore!

I wish I could vote you into this job or something, it would be perfect for you.

'Women bishops should be create', indeed. The gospel according to Ceiling Cat.
