This post is a collection of the errors I detected in the
24 hours Vancouver newspaper and on
the 24 hours Vancouver website during July 2012. Starting things off, on July 6 (in "Katy Perry: Part of Me")
captures should have been
capture. Then,
also on July 6,
due should have been
do (in "'Caps moving on up"). Then,
on July 7 (in "
Are we being dumb with smartphones" online),
Blackberry should be
BlackBerry. Respect the camel case. Then,
later in the same article, it's still incorrectly capitalized, and now it's also incorrectly pluralized. It should be
BlackBerrys. Then,
on July 16 the headline (of "17 injured by lightning at Ontario Ribfest") has the correct spelling of
lightning. But in the article, both attempts at
lightning are seen as
lighting. Also, the final paragraph has a space inserted in what should be
they, which is amusingly obvious when listening to the audio of it. Finally,
on July 27 there was a
sneak peak occurrence (in "Perry sets sights on comeback"). I'm still waiting for
sneek peek. I don't understand why
sneak peak has quotation marks around it. Thanks for reading. Click an image to enlarge it.
