Called Grauniad because it used to cantane a lote of spling missteaks....

Its only marginally left-leaning, its never actually fallen over.

It also goes some way to explaining the deficient proof reading in the Old Blue. I'm so used to the Grauniad that now I have difficulty in picking up the mitsakes.

Which is why I rely on outside help.

You're lucky, they bounce right over mine.

Besides as Ruthie-Baby will tell you, they're not very good on surnames.

I have to say that the current Old Blue has very few mistakes that I noticed!

I knew I was going to feel silly. If you don't ask, you don't find out

If you need another pair of eyes, let me know (I'm being serious, apart from the fact I know I can spell my surname...!).

Same here John. Since I am not working anymore, I have time to kill

Im awful at proof reading, i just glance over it-my mind knows what it says so i dont notice the bad spelling-if that makes sense???

I think your problem is rather keeping your fingers in time with your brain.
