Beware of typos

Yes just one simple slip of the finger can totally change the meaning of what you're writing. Take tonight's Shropshire Star for example. There is an article plus photograph of Miss Edith Elizabeth Bufton who is shown celebrating her 100th birthday with her nephew. However, in reporting this joyous occasion Hannah Costigan of the Shropshire Star obviously got carried away with the whole event. She wrote 'Despite reaching 100, Elizabeth still LOVES independently and keeps active.'

Well all I can add to that is good luck to Miss Bufton and long may she continue.

  1. Maybe it wasn't a typo! Maybe she does love independently and actively?! :o) Julie xx
