j2bad Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Do we need a new section for snippy little bitch threads started by radio employees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarne Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 We do, but yes, it's hoard not horde. Horde refers to a horde of vikings invading, to protect their hoard of loot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyrotten Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Never mind horde, Also artifacts (which is American spelling) and broach, which isn't the same as the Viking brooch that was discovered in the horde. Spellcheckers are so easy to use. There is no reason for halfwits to foist bad spelling onto their readers when they're being paid to do the job properly.

Particularly when they are wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoard (unless they have subsequently changed it to Hoard, which it said when I clicked the link) Edited June 29, 2013 by hboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS don't talk about pay - TJ will jump in with some bollocks about all the journos being on the minimum wage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of which why does Alex Bradley not even manage the same pronunciation of heysham when used twice in the same sentence, pretty shit for the state funded broadcaster.

Perhaps what the Island needs is a press-correcting service from a second-rate software developer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
