It's almost comical..

[colly]

But it's a sign of what? Simple carelessness, inability to use a spell check, poor teaching, lack of reading anything other than texts and net crap? Whoever wrote the piece must have something about them or they wouldn't have got the job. I asked my 9 year old granddaughter to read it out and she picked it up straightaway.

Well, it's lost on me unless the mistake is in the piece - which I can't see - rather in the headline.

 

[Brandane]

Dunno - is it sumfink to do wiff 'postropheez or wot?
However; one did pick up on this:

I asked my 9 year old grandaughter the read it out

 

[AndyRM]

Almost doesn't need a capital.

 

[Dayvo]

Could have been just one parent.

 

[Brandane]

Oh, and granddaughter with 2 x d's, not grandaughter, please!
While I'm being picky, should your granddaughter not have picked up ON it; rather than picked it up?

Almost doesn't need a capital.

True, but it looks like that ‘sentence’ has been auto-created from various headlines. A full-stop would be correcter.

 

[figbat]

Could have been just one parent.

Presumably the story is about a specific incident that involves a defined number of parents.

True, but it looks like that ‘sentence’ has been auto-created from various headlines. A full-stop would be correcter.

A full colon would be even more correcter. (I think)

 

[Dayvo]

The number of unemployed workers in Leeds, which has a population of 800,000?

 

[Dayvo]

That there is NO news about LUFC?

 

[swee'pea99]

True, but it looks like that ‘sentence’ has been auto-created from various headlines. A full-stop would be correcter.

More correcter, please.

 

[Brandane]

Is it LUFC? Do they still exist?

 

[Dayvo]

And colly isn't breaking his silence on this important matter! 😳

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Is it LUFC? Do they still exist?

Me and you are going to fall out.
