They had this beautiful example of an eggcorn in two different places in the Daily Fail yesterday. I mentioned this exact eggcorn the other day. Of course you cannot call the people who work for this rag journalists in the true sense of the word, but really, shouldn’t readers be able to expect more from a ‘newspaper’?
There are so many mistakes in this ‘newspaper’ that I just ignore them now.
Well spotted!
They are hard to miss sometimes, but you are right – just about every article has a couple of glaring grammatical errors!
