Doug's last name first appears as Vaughan (in "NBC apologizes to Bachmann for Fallon show intro song" on Yahoo! Canada News on November 25, 2011) before
dropping an A three paragraphs later. Which one is the correct spelling? I have no idea. Click an image to enlarge it.
I would like to hear the writer's reason for including just one hyphen in 81-year-old before leaving both hyphens out of 75-year-old. From "Seniors' drug operation busted in Prince George" on CBC News online on November 25, 2011. Click the image to enlarge it.
This is the largest part of a full-page advertisement (for PlayNow.com of British Columbia Lottery Corporation) that was placed in front of the front page of 24 hours Vancouver on November 25, 2011. Someone gave away an A. Then,
a few pages into that day's paper (in "It's snow time for local ski mountains") it's should have been its. Click an image to enlarge it.
This article ("The F stands for fighting" in Metronews Vancouver on November 21, 2011) starts out on the wrong foot with a homophonic error: they're should be their. Then, everyday should be separated into every day both times. Then, The Washington Post should either be written in italics or feature quotation marks. Finally, is the bandmate's name Sky Blu or Sky Blue? It can't be both.
In Canada, centimetres is the correct spelling. In any country, always avoid using the -er and -re spellings in the same article (and especially just three words apart). From "Storm cancels BC Ferries main routes" on CBC News online on November 24, 2011.
There are four words ending with -ing in the above sentence - can you determine which one should end instead with -ed? From "Parachuting hijacker's cash in B.C., sleuth says" on CBC News online on November 24, 2011. Click the image to enlarge it.
Most people - and all professional writers - would recognize that an necropsy should be a necropsy. From "Second giraffe dies at B.C. zoo" on CBC News online on November 20, 2011.
The plural of the singular resort is not resort - it's resorts. That's from the second sentence in "West coast ski season opens early" on CBC News online on November 18, 2011. Then,
three paragraphs later there is a misspelling of centimetres. Click an image to enlarge it.
The company is BC Ferries. There are no initials, and it is plural. From "BC Ferry hits dock in Nanaimo" on CBC News online on November 18, 2011. Then,
this is a disastrous start to a sentence. Most is missing its S, and I see that the I and C in vehicles have swapped places. Click an image to enlarge it.
The first error in this article ("1st snow hits parts of Metro Vancouver" on CBC News on November 18, 2011) is that the 99 B-line buses are not trolleys. None of them ever have been. As an aside, when I captured these errors, the first word of the headline was First, not 1st. Making that change seems trivial - does anyone know if there's any important reason why that change would take place? It may seem like a trivial question, but I'm genuinely curious. Then,
there is one and too many here. Though I like the look of and and and when you include the end of island. It's like an echo. Island and and and and...
