Update: The Ham&High reporter has Tweeted an apology for her spelling mistake. The almost perfect Mrs Angry made the same mistake, so the journalist is in good company.
In fairness, and lest I be accused of hypocrisy, it was an easy mistake to make. Last year, for an academic piece of work, I wrote ‘principle’ instead of ‘principal’. The lesson learned from this was:
a) do not rely on your computer’s spill chucker
b) ask someone else to proof read your work before you publish it.
